ezs note:  I gotta tell you a story that is related.  In the movie Ma Vie En Rose (see it on Youtube if you have the chance)  Jerome and Ludovic are in the public bathroom to solve a dispute.  It happens just for a second or two, but a girl walks by.  Eek!  Horrors!  Uh... wait a minute.  Y'see, there are no boys' or girls' toilets in France, just 'toilets'.  And this is twenty years ago.

But this is the good ol' USA, where lawyers make a mint over the most trivial matters.  God bless America.  The lawyers are certainly blessed.
