Do you have to use the bathroom?

A friend forwarded an e-mail to me describing a bathroom in Houston, TX.
"A bathroom?" you say.
"Yes, a bathroom." says Scott, "But not in a sleazy, stereo-typical porn type of way that you would immediately think. More like a port-a-potty. You know, the ones that you would enter into with fear in your eyes and the stench of a thousand unknowns emanating from a hole in the floor. A prayer is muttered for safe passage into the unknown 4 by 4 room of iniquity. And while practicing the hovering method, you listen for the cheers and laughter of little ruffians that potentially would tip you over and roll you into the street."
"However, this port-a-potty is not like the others." said with gleeful giddiness, "It seems to have a foundation that would prevent said tipping, rolling and bathing in the stench of a thousand farts and unknown goober-ish things dangling in the depths of a normal port-a-potty."
"Furthermore," said with a thoughtful look, "Maybe port-a-potty is too strong of a word. This port-a-potty, henceforth is to be called just-a-potty. If it were to be tipped, it would break into a hundred of thousands of pieces sending shards of pieces flying all over and getting entangled in your no-no naughty bits. And not only the entanglement of the danger areas, but the public humiliation of your family wares being shown to anyone passing on the street. Such an event would be cause for a wonderful law suit, made for TV movie, book deals, photo ops (with you standing at the scene of the crime pointing to the place on the asphalt where your naked bum touched the dirty, stinky ground), talk show appearances and not to mention the 15 minutes of fame on the news so that you can relive each agonizing moment where your floppies fell prey to the unsuspecting eyes of the predators that lurk the cities. Oh, dare I say it, camera phones!"

"Once inside," said with childish laughter, "one can stand there with all your godly goods in, from your perspective, plain sight of those walking around the just-a-potty. You could take a seat and stare at those passing or make funny gestures to those without fear of retribution. This just-a-potty is an exhibitionists dream. To be full montied in the middle of town without fear of reprisal, of course, everyone else just sees their reflection. "
"And what happens when the reflective surface on the inside of the glass gets scratched? Does that not provide a peep show hole for everyone to peer into the encasement and watch you do the dance of a thousand bran-muffins? Or draining the lizard so much that a horse would be envious?"
On a side note: The one way glass is normally used where one room is darkened and another light. Those in the darkened room are able to see those in the lighted room but not vice-versa. During the day, the light outside is relatively brighter then the light inside which should allow for normal viewing pleasures. However, at night, when you need a light on the inside, will everyone be able to see your dangling (or perky) naughty things?

When not using the "facilities" one at a time, at least you FEEL LIKE you're exhibitionistically getting busy in public.
Next time you are in Houston, maybe, you could track this one down and give it a try. :)
I saw a write up on this before. Wonder if I'd feel pee shy, or an exhibitionist.
Actually, I think I am going to go to Houston and see how it feels. Maybe take some pictures :)
Anyone want to tag along on a road trip to see a bathroom?
Before you waste a tank of gas driving to H-town, take another look at the pictures and ask yourself if your information seems reasonable. The self-aware but comfortable physical humor of the stall itself, the architecture of the surrounding buildings, the pedestrian-friendly walkways, the sparse, all-white people in the background..... everything about those two pictures screams "NOT ACTUALLY IN HOUSTON TEXAS!"
To me it looks more like one of those weirdo artsy northern countries with a cultural style that manages to be both space-age futuristic and late '60s retro simultaneously. Some place where REALLY weird people come from... like, oh... Denmark.
