Sit or Squat

We've all been out and had to go to the bathroom urgently.
It's a fact of life, and it happens.


The worst feeling is needing to go...and not being able to find a toilet.




I've rushed into fast food restaurants...Starbucks...gas stations...

Once, when I was around 13 or so, my family took a trip to Italy.
And we took a tour of Pompeii.

Please tell me you have heard of Pompeii?

It's a ruined and partially-buried Italian town, from a volcanic eruption
of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.



It's an amazing place to visit.
The history there is incredible.

But, mid-tour, my mom, my sister, and I all needed to pee.

Badly.

In the middle of an ancient-volcanically preserved historic town.

I'm ashamed to admit it...but we did it.

We found a spot to...squat.





Does anyone know the Italian statute of limitations on a crime like that?

Could I be arrested next time I end up in Italy?

Can my own blog be used against me in a court of law?!!




Anyway, I recently found out, from the same above-mentioned sister,
that there is an iPhone/iPod app that is called...

Sit 0r Squat.

And it's a free app to help you find a toilet while you are...anywhere.




What a brilliant idea!!!


Do you have any good app ideas to create your own? Do you own any good apps you want to share?

Unless you have to take a crap...then you're on your own.

That is a great idea!
Wonder if I can find that on a Blackberry.
Maybe I need to get an iPhone.

Hey, you've just added to the history of Pompeii, right? And that's a brilliant damn app! If only I had an iphone!

I have heard of another app...about when it's a good time to leave a movie in the theater so you can pee. It will also tell you what you have missed. Or maybe it's a website :-) Anyway...rather brilliant.

And of course I've heard of Pompeii. Have you read the book (Pompeii) by Robert Harris? It's REALLY good...

I am the queen of "urgency".

Looking forward to seeing you!

I hope to visit there next summer. I'll make sure to watch the water intake!

Just think of how confused the future archaeologists will be when they excavate the "pee" strata - LOL :)
