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.
