Surprise, Surprise

Well, the new public pay bathrooms have started appearing around the city. Only one so far actually and I had the fortuitous opportunity to come across in a desperate time of need. The perfect coincidence. The toilet had been unveiled that very day in the news and here I was, at 1am in Herald Sq, forced off my speedy, warm D train whisking me home by a deep seated need to relieve myself. As I dashed out of the subway I remembered  the newscast and soon came upon the gleaming metal shack looking for all the world like a closed news stand. As I neared, quarter in hand,  I looked for the coin-slot and there, gleaming like HAL was a red OUT OF ORDER light.

Yeah. Thats about right

Anthony -

Your reading comprehension needs some work or maybe your reading the wrong paper. The new pay toilet is not open after 10:00 PM for the time being. The city is concerned about vandalism since this is the first and only pay toilet in NYC. They made a point in the article I read of saying that it would read “Out of Order” when the time lock is set for the night.
