The old saying yah cain't hurry no Mainer, takes on meaning in the town of Kennebunk where they have been debating this pee-vish issue since the 1980's.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!
This has come about after much badgering by you, my friends and extended family...

Dumb. The smallest towns in Europe have public toilets. I guess we don't recognize that the tourists spending money in our towns need somewhere to go. It's amazing how short-sited communities can be at times. Try finding a place to pee in Times Square someday.

What on earth are you talking about?

The very few free public bathrooms available in Europe was one big difference I noticed between the U.S. and Europe.

Are you sure those weren't EU phone booths?

[RobRoy]

Actually, the're both. Thats why making a call can be unpleasant, or releiving, depending on what you're actually using the booth for (maybe both at the same time).

But hey, that's Europe.

Kennybunkport is mostly a residential town. The "tourist" area is small enough you could throw a baseball across it.

If they need to pee, they should buy a meal at "Alice's" Resturant. (I think that's the name I remember, like the song)

By the way, it was kinda neat seeing the Bush compound.

[bvw]

I kept wondering why no water was coming out of the bidette hand faucet.

Ocean City, NJ has nice public restrooms. They get locked at 5:30 PM. They also charge a fee to use the beach. What happens when ya really gotta go and the door is locked? Don't ask!

Maybe you just couldn't read the signs. Everywhere I've been, except for Turkey, I had no trouble finding public facilites. Try that in any US city's downtown area.

[MineralMan]

I guess you're not supposed to go after business hours. Oh well.....

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I guess that's it, I couldn't read the signs, you smartass. I could find bathrooms over there, they just weren't free.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
The solution is pretty obvious: if there ain't no privy available, ya just go behind the Bush's.

[altair]

They can always just pee on the sidewalk, like in San Francisco.

Do it on the pant leg of the guy standing next to you ;-)

[TC Rider]

I wouldn't mind taking a dump in the hat of that goof who turned up the Bush DWI in 2000.

STAY OUT DA BUSHS
