Next week's presidential inauguration will make history. And not just because Barack Obama will be taking the oath of office.

Port-a-potty pro Conrad Harrell says the inauguration will be the largest temporary restroom event in U.S. history. Harrell is with Don's Johns, which is supplying many of the 5,000 port-a-johns.

But will that be enough for up to 2 million people who might have to go? Inauguration committee organizers say yes. They also note many of Washington's downtown museums will be open for people seeking a restroom or a place to warm up.

Since there will be no booze allowed, why do they need all those port-a-potties?  Can’t people just go to the crapper at home before they go to this 165 million dollar event?

Hmmm….So that means Washington will really be full of it that day and probably from here on out. smile

I can see the history books now saying “2009 inauguration was crappy.”

“2009 inauguration best known for being FOS.”
