[dropcap]I[/dropcap] reckon it’s about time I pitch in my two cents in the pot where Senate Bill 6, aka the Bathroom Bill, continues to swirl around and emit a scent foul enough to run off hungry buzzards. It’s a sad day in Texas when we have to have legislation on the use of a crapper, although it’s not the first law passed on using a toilet. About 37 years ago, a bill went into effect down in Beeville, Texas. I don’t recollect the exact verbiage of this law, but it was something like “Put the darn toilet seat down, dang it!” I’ll tell you what, if you left the toilet seat up in my household, and there was a splashdown in the middle of the night, violating that Bathroom Bill was a capital offense.
As for this new bill on who can and cannot use specific public toilets is raising a bigger stink than an overturned outhouse. Personally, I don’t give a poot on which bathroom a person uses. At my age, I don’t care who is standing at the next urinal as long as I get to empty my bladder before my urinary sphincter takes early retirement.
I do have a few questions concerning this bathroom bill if it does get passed and becomes a law. First of all, who will be enforcing the law? Homeland Security maybe, or perhaps the Department of Waste Management? Perhaps some agency like the TSA will be created to screen all potty-goers in public buildings? They could name it the PSA for Potty Selection Administration. Someone must be outside every stinkin’ bathroom to make sure the right gender enters his/her designated restroom. I doubt any politician has thought about high cost of bathroom screening if this bill passes.
