Gotta go!

Will someone please tell me what, exactly, dogs are looking for when they circle, walk, sniff and circle, walk, sniff before they get down to "business"? It's like they have to find that perfect patch of ground before they can "go". What makes one spot better than another? Or is it just their form of "reading" in the bathroom? And, do you ever feel thinner after you've "gone"? One of the things I like least about holiday shopping...is the public restrooms; don't like 'em..I'd rather "go" outside than in a public restroom..and have. Have you heard the story about the self cleaning toilets coming soon to a public restroom near you? Apparently you only get so many minutes to "do your business" and then the toilet sinks into the wall to clean itself. What if you can't "finish" in time? That, in itself is enough to make you not able to go! I suppose that still beats the troughs I've heard about at Fenway & the old Garden. But, hey, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

Julie,
The troughs at Fenway were pretty bizarr. You always had to worry about the guy behind you that couldn't quite squeeze in between, or wait, and decided 'when you gotta go...' You just hoped he could aim well enough :)

I'm going through all of your old blogs, and even though this is an old one..I HAD to comment. There are toilets in Boston on the street. Like these little things sort of like portopotties...but not really...bigger and built in on the street. Well you pay a quarter or so to use them...it opens like a spaceship...you go in (I never used one, I was outside waiting for a friend) and well so...while they were going, I was reading the instructions.. Yeah, so basically you get to "choose" what side the toilet is on when you get in there (why the hell do you care.... if you have to go, you have to go whether it be on the left or right) and you only get 20 minutes to go. If you do not finish in those twenty minutes (I guess it warns you a minute before) well the doors just AUTOMATICALLY open on you and everyone on the street could see you doing your business. I'd feel bad for those who fall asleep on the toilet...asleep and bare assed to the world... it's just a few streets away from Government Center. The nice thing is that it basically disinfects itself when you are out of there, not sure how if it is chemicals or hot hot water, but... it's like something out of the future meant to embarass those with sluggish colons I guess?
