The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsNow For Some Cr*ppy News
Looks like New York will be charging people for use of some public toilets.
Oh sure, you'll be able to take a dump in a public place, but at what cost?
Well, I guess 25 cents by the looks of it.
The city will be incorporating at least 20 new pay potties into their streetscape. The toilets are made to look space age-like, kinda like an elevator.
Just remember to stay on the first floor and don't push the button for the basement, lol.
The best part of this news is that 25 cents buys you 15 minutes of potty time, and a recorded warning let's you know when it's time to leave.
Three minutes after the warning, the door opens.
heh, heh, heh
Who wants to bet that some punks will go around disabling the things so that the doors will open ahead of time or the warning recording won't sound off?
There'll be a lot of full moons in New York city if that can be accomplished.

Well, got help everyone if they don't have their 25 cents. NY stinks as it is!

There was a French company, JC DeCaux, that tried doing this in NYC in the late 80's and people loved them. The problem, though, was that the European designs didn't meet the New York bureaucratic standards (there were 13 different agencies that had to give their blessings). DeCaux wound up being forced to remove the toilets. Let's hope these new folks have more success this time.

The problem in cities is that there aren't enough good sources of water. This is why everyone drinks pop, and gets overweight or diabetic.
