What Do You Get When You Combine 5,000 Port-O-Potties With A Presidential Inaugural? A Discrimination Lawsuit!
January 13, 2009
Just when you thought you’d heard it all…Washington, DC radio station WTOP reports that a George Washington University law professor believes the 5,000 port-o-potties hauled in for President-elect Obama’s inauguration are “grossly inadequate” and has warned the Presidential Inaugural Committee of potential lawsuits.
Professor John Banzhaf – who WTOP calls the “Father of Potty Parity” – says that since women typically take longer restroom breaks than men, they may need to wait in line longer, which represents discrimination. Professor Banzhaf says “waiting in long lines is not just an inconvenience, it can trigger medical problems.”
I promise you, I’m not making this up.
