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

    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.
