Number Two

Sometimes I think there's no hope for society.

On my way back home from a weekend in Atlantic City Sunday night, I saw a car pulled over on the shoulder of the Garden State Parkway. Standing outside in full view of all passing motorists was one of the younger occupants of the car, who had decided to do a Number One right then and there. Less than a quarter mile from an off ramp that would have led to gas stations, restaurants and stores that have open public bathrooms.

I didn't think to check the car for out-of-state plates or perhaps an up-north car dealership decal that would have tabbed our peeing friends and his parents as BENNIES. But methinks that's what was going on there.

Hey, Gov. Codey! How's this for a slogan?
