Set it up in your front yard and watch the clients line up.

I could see somebody from the Christian Right objecting to those international logos. There should be an "or" between the man logo, woman logo, and handicapped person logo. Otherwise, this signage encourages anonymous bathroom three-ways! It's bad enough Seattle already promotes CHILD RAPE!

Turns out folks that tend to shit in public, do so for other reasons than the lack of a space age toilet. Shocking as it may seem, there is a percentage of those on the street that are less than noble. It's a small percentage, of course as the rest are well-meaning gents and ladies with golden hearts and a solid work ethic, simply down on their luck. Right?

But a kid would always put his or her foot in the door and it wouldn't close ...
