Rated PG-13 Post

I'm going to try to "keep it between the ditches" with this post, but there are so many different tangents on this subject that it's going to be difficult to stay on track.

What is it with today's elected Republicans and wanting to have sex in public restrooms?

I absolutely despise having to go into a public restroom. Even here at work, where engineering work is going on and people stay clean all day, I still have stressful times going to the bathroom.

My ideal trip to a public restroom is to get in there and to get back out of there after having, say, peed, and to do so without having to touch ANYTHING. But, being a compulsive hand washer, it's unavoidable, you have to crank that handle on the towel dispenser and turn the water knob and flush the toilet or urinal.

But my ideals in there are pure, and my goal is lofty. And I sure as heck don't leave a mess for the next guy. He might hate public restrooms more than me.

So while I'm in there it’s a tightrope walk without a net trying to stay sane and sanitary in a place were dirty things are done, ya know?

The absolute last thing on my wish list is to touch something while in there.

The thought of wanting sex with another man in a public restroom has never crossed my mind, but here in Florida, our local State Representative, Bob Allen, Republican, will go on trial in September for soliciting sex for $20 from an undercover cop in a public restroom.

Now, US Senator Larry Craig, Republican from Idaho has pled guilty for misdemeanor charges of a similar nature, that happened in a public restroom in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport!

The closest restroom to me here at work is a small one, two stalls and two urinals. If I go in there and need a stall, and one is occupied, I leave, and walk all the way across the building to the "big" bathroom or I wait and come back so that I don't get into a stall next to someone. Same thing with urinals too. I need at least one blank stall or urinal between me and the next guy.

But soliciting homosexual sex in a public restroom, by nature one of the least sanitary places on the planet?

I just don't get it.

We need to clean house. It's obvious that people were so hot to vote for a person with an R beside his name on the ballot for a number of years that a bunch of total scumbags got elected.

I propose we clean up both the US and state's congress and senates and also all public restrooms.

Now I'm really going to be avoiding them even more than in the past.

I hope my bladder doesn't explode trying to hold it in.

And another thing.

What the heck did these cops do on their job that was so bad that they were the ones assigned to spend their work days sitting in disgusting public restrooms hoping some pervert homosexual wanna-be will come in there and offer to pay them to give or receive homosexual sexual favors?

If I were such a screw-up as a cop that they assigned me to that duty, I would quit right on the spot.

Danny Glover and Mel Gibson screwed up so bad in one of the Lethal Weapon movies (I can't remember which one, maybe the second one, or was it the third fourth fifth , whatever) that they were busted down to walking a beat.

They blew up cars and knocked down buildings and had to walk a beat.

What level of screw up does a cop have to be to get pervert duty in public restrooms?

Why are our elected officials soliciting sex from them?

I just don't get it; it's yucky in there.
