Old story: Kid in class needs to go to the bathroom, so he raises his hand to ask permission:

Teacher calls on the kid. Kid says "I need to go to the bathroom".
Teacher says: "Ok, but you have to recite the alphabet first.
Kid says: "abcdefghijklmnoqrstuvwxyz"
Teacher asks "Where's the p"
Kid says "It's running down my leg".

Who knew that all this time, they were living in fear of the parliamentary hall monitor.

Before this decision, we assume the Parliament kept a cleaning crew busy in the witness area.

This recalls one of my favorite movie moments. Burt Reynolds in "Semi-Tough" with his homemade catheter and the bottle in his boot. And the look on his face.

What if they decide that they want to live there?
