Commentary, It's Been a while

So, I find myself not having writen a damned thing for way to long, so I, what slide back into commentary... I promise you I will not ride this, AS I have pretty much abandoned my opinion on everything over the last few months. Oh sure, I wax the wax I used to wax when waxing with old pals who clean the same colored wax outta their ears as I do each evening... AND I'll argue with the pals I used to argue with for the sake of arguing only because the arguments make us feel, well you know closer to each other after we have made up after the argument... Commentary, why not, maybe it'll shake a few beans loose...

Shorter Waits for Women in New York Restrooms
The City Council of New York City passed legislation this week requiring new public venues and those undergoing renovations, such as bars, restaurants, theaters or concert halls, to create restroom equity by establishing a two-to-one ratio of women's to men's stalls. Schools, hospitals and prisons will not be affected by the legislation. According to the New York Times, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania and California already have similar measures in effect.

Council member Yvette D. Clarke (D), who sponsored this measure, told the Times that “there is something a bit degrading about standing in line to use a bathroom," and later called the passage “a women’s rights accomplishment” that “goes to the quality of life we are able to enjoy in the city.” Women in New York are pleased with the news, according to the Times, happy never again to face experiences in men’s rooms or outdoors because of the length of a women’s restroom line.

OK, so it was only last night, I hit the can at the Hammerstien Ballroom only to find two out of the three stalls occupied by chicks [er, gals... er, sorry, women]. AND as I recall, at last years Belmont Stakes [the third leg of the triple crown for you non-sport types], I found myself in a line up to the men's room with just as many women as there were men. It would seem New York ladies [can I say that?], of all stripes, from Kraftwerk fans to Hourse Racing affectionados have busted through and have started to ignore those little international symbols of MAN [no skirt] and WOMAN [skirt] on the doors of our public washrooms.

I for one applaud this seeming intrusion on my space; AND, I enjoy when women wear [skirts]. I mean, on the subject of the rest room, it doesn't harm me in any way to share my hole with the women. Oh sure, they monopolize the stalls, and well [he says bashfully], I am well kind of a stall guy, long story... But, truly, no, if they don't mind the grunt plops, and the sound of Niagra Falls at the urinals, be my guest. Better yet, there have been dozens of article written about how women can actually contort themselves to use the urinals... I say go ahead ladies! Honestly, what's ours is yours; if you've learned how to use the tools while only spillin' say, the average "last three drops" we're currently allowed, the device is all yours. AND rest assured, we NEVER sneak a peak, EVER!

OK, we all may want to think twice when it comes to the antiquities, you know, the "troughs" we men still find at the odd ancient sports venue; a women could do some serious damage to that [insert designer label here] number she picked up at [insert name of trendy SoHo dress shop here] at one of those throw backs to the Holy Roman Orgy.

In the artical above we have venerable ladies rag advocating yet more legislation that denigrates the resourceful. Legislation that tells our women friends, our pals, our lovers, daughters, mothers and sisters that big ol' daddy Gov-Man [in this case, his poor retarded cousin known as City Council], is your only hope at a fare shake [the women who get that lousy pun, give a collective wink]. Yep, the women who currently love me, inspire me, or just plain old beat me up these days don't have a hope in hell of having a sweet pee unless we enact legislation; AND here's the rub fellas! Architecturely speaking, where do you think this extra space to ensure the 2 to 1 ratio is going to come from? Old Bill, the janitor ain't giving up his nap space; NOPE they'll be taking that 2 to 1 ratio right out from underneath our danglers... [can you say two to a hole boys, it's summer camp sword fights all over again].

I say lets drop this, and legislate that all establishments "tear down this wall" and create one big ol' pee-palace. Sure throw in a few extra stalls [as I applaud loudly], create a more "Lady-Friendly" urinal and we can all drain together! I mean, as my cousin Jebadia would say, it's all just "dicks and hootlies", an aint neither gots teef... The only problem being... I'm hearing the K'werk strike up "Radioactivity" and that bitch has been in there for, what 5 minute... man that's just not human!
