How Arizona Citizens Should Relieve Themselves

[Joanne98]

Per the New York Times, it seems Arizona citizens, at least the ones who drive, are seriously pissed that their budget-strapped State Department of Transportation is closing rest stops along Arizona highways.

The people of Arizona kept their upper lips stiff when officials mortgaged off the state’s executive office tower and a “Daily Show” crew rolled into town to chronicle the transaction in mocking tones. They remained calm as lawmakers pondered privatizing death row.

But then the state took away their toilets, and residents began to revolt.

“Why don’t they charge a quarter or something?’” said Connie Lucas, who lives in Pine, Ariz., about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from here. “There was one rest stop between here and Phoenix, and we really needed it.”

1. Arizona ladies need to talk to Whoopi about it

2. If you're a guy you can do as us old concrete finishers used to do

When we'd be working in a residential area and it came time to pee we'd just open our truck door and act like we were looking at plans in the seat all the while pissing away.

3. From the accounts, Arizona seems to be becoming some sort of libertarian paradise

one with exceptionally harsh and retributive criminals laws.

4. I guess they want to get rid of the senior citizens and tourists.

5. It's not like you can duck behind a bush, either

Cactus affords damned little cover and nothing to wipe with. You have to leave your car and hope there's a hillock nearby without a rattlesnake.

Still, the only way to get through to tax whiners is to eliminate necessary services. They don't get the point until they're inconvenienced.

Sometimes I think they'll never get the point in Arizona.

6. The good citizens of Arizona should stage a pee-in.

Do the superhighways of Arizona have median strips?
I guess overpasses would do, too.

7. They should form a Pee Baggers protest group

I got their logo right here -

8. Back in the mid 60s I was driving north on I-75

between Detroit and Flint. Bumper to bumper traffic going at least 80mph when all of a sudden I saw brakes lights on in front of me making me slow to 20mph. Then I saw it, a group of about 200 bikers lined up on the side of the road, all facing traffic, peeing like race horses.
