January 20, 2009…….The Biggest Event in History!
The Inauguration of Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States……well that too, but what I was really talking about was that this is the largest temporary restroom event (port-a-potties) in the history of the united states. There will be 5000 port-a-potties from 10 vendors…..Don’s Johns, Mr. John, Johnny Blue, Johnny on the Spot, they’ll all be there. Park Services says the appropriate number is one for every 300 people, at this ratio there will be enough for about 1.5 million people. If more people than that show up let’s hope they all follow their mom’s advice and “go before you leave home”. The Presidential Inaugural Committee, a privately funded organization, is picking up the tab for all this. Here’s hoping they can answer nature’s call, if not Don’s Johns says they will have trucks standing by to handle the overflow. Almost makes me glad that golden ticket didn’t come in the mail; I can hit the pause button and I don’t even have to stand in line.

The thought of that makes me sick! Plus, I would rather watch it on tv in sunny CA.
