The city of Denver’s official website says there are about 50,000 people attending the 2008 Democratic National Convention, including delegates, visitors, politicians and media. That’s a whole lot of people. And what do these people do, besides wave signs that read, “Unity” and shout “Yes, we can!”? They consume food and beverages and, therefore, have to relieve themselves a lot. The New York Post reports that despite efforts for equal restroom rights at the Pepsi Center, men have fewer toilets and urinals than women, but they take half as much time to go, so women will still have longer to wait. My recommendation for delegates sandwiched in the convention hall who don’t want to miss any of Bill Clinton’s speech tonight? Depends.

I used to get really annoyed when I had to take a class in the science building in college because there was only ONE ladies’ restroom and it was in the dank, dark basement. I always found it interesting that the female student population was larger than the male’s, yet the school didn’t think of converting one men’s room into a ladies’ room. When there’s an extremely long line at the ladies’ and none at the men’s, I just have a friend look out for me while I haul it to the men’s. Problem solved.
