    This to do with the inauguration ceremony?

    Perhaps posting it in the "PJs" forum would be more appropriate, as the inevitable references to politics and voter demographics will be rolling in shortly.

    I remember back in 1997 I was at the Promise Keepers rally there in DC. There may have been 5 to 7 hundred thousand of us on the Mall.The porta potty problem was real bad. They had a lot of them, but they were all FULL. You couldn't set down. Lucky for me I didn't have to do #2

    For the guys, its NOTTA PROBLEM! Just a visit to the bushes and the problem is solved, unless the problem is more "SERIOUS" in which case they will have to stand in line.

    They have a similar problem at the TRW Swapmeet, which is attended by thousands. There is always a line at the portapotties, and always alot of people dancing around waiting to get in. There are no bushes nearby the swapmeet so people just have to wait for the Portapotty. I usually make a trip to a nearby FRYS after the swapmeet to take care of business. The clerks there sure wish I would BUY SOMETHING someday!

    Rumor has it that all 7,000 porta-potties will be facing Mecca.

    Here they're called Honey Buckets. If that name doesn't leave a bad taste in your brain, nothing will. Ewwww!

    I didn't take the time to check out the video but from the responses it seems like a few poor souls had to, at one time in their life, experience what many construction workers have to deal with every day in the workplace.

    If anyone would like, I can post some pictures.

    What makes things even worse is that when the temp gets down around 0 F, going tinkle creates enough steam to fog one's glasses. Then the fog freezes. It's dark anyway at 7 am in Michigan so who cares? Just feel around on the wall for the coldest part (the walls are fiberglass, the latch is aluminum) and off you go, giving thanks that the latch was not made of steel lest thy hands not cometh off with all skin intact.

    Anyone want to see my pic of a porta potty blowing over in a storm?

    "The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001."

    -Dr. Sheldon Cooper, (Jim Parsons), "Big Bang Theory"

    "Just to invite your attention to "73" in Morse code--also a palindrome."
