It's My Potty

Ok, I'm sure a hundred other bloggers will use this title for this story, but it jumped in my head, and I had to go with it. Today, on Glenn Beck's radio show they did the numbers of expected Inaugural guests, (4,000,000) and the number of port-a-pottys at the inaugural event. (5,000) That means, if the expected 4,000,000 people show up, there will be 1 port-a-potty for every 800 people. According to the research on the Glenn Beck Radio Show, a private event would require, one P.P. for every 75 guests. A government event requires one for every 300. I don't know why there's such a disparity, but nevertheless there is seemingly a big gap between the estimates, and the number or P.P.'s available for the event. How did they resolve this dilemma? They just gave a low official estimate. Just like they do with their government programs. They say this will cost 1 trillion dollars, and it usually costs about 5 trillion. Very useless information I know, but it at least made me laugh.

Ugh...that sounds like a nightmare. A funny one, tho, as I won't be there! Good luck fans!

I've been to places where the lines for the PP's are long, but that's gonna suck! Let's hope the anointed one isn't too long winded or there may be some 'accidents'.

Factor in the 10% fainting factor and that takes the numbers down to 3.6 million. Then, subtract out the number of "hippies", say approx 2 mil (who'll pretty much "go" anywhere) and you're down to 1.6 mil. Next, minus out the over estimation of those attendin of 1 mil and that leaves about 600,000.

There...1 pp per 120 peeps.

Have you ever been to a Rockets game or a concert @ the old Summit (now Lakewood Church)???? It was much worse odds.

I joked about what to do with the LAstrodome: run a light rail extention from our working light rail line to the West to the old Summit so the church ladys could take it to the LAstrodome to use it as a restroom. :-) I got some laughs from the idea as well.
