Mayor Bloomberg obviously had a lousy day yesterday, but he did get to say the following:

"A number of times I've been in a restaurant waiting for a small men's room to open up and a woman comes out. This hopefully will solve that problem."

He could be referring to several things there, of course, but he's actually referring to the signing of the "potty parity" bill. What's that, you ask? It's a new law that requires that in new arenas, bars, convention halls and movie theaters, there must be two women's toilets for every one men's one. The idea is to limit women's wait time to "take care of their personal business," avoid public health concerns, and expedite and streamline the previously cumbersome process of blowing rails.—WL
