It's the Boy Scout motto, or something kind of like it.

So tomorrow is Public Drunkenness Day, or as it is known to the unwashed masses not living in the area, the day of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Scranton. I've been to the last four Public Drunkenness Days. I've never actually seen the parade.

Now, I'm planning ahead of time. My friends and I always start out PDD at Tink's, now the Hardware Bar, even though the crush inside is ridiculous. And what with all of the drinking, you inevitably have to go to the bathroom.

Even on a normal weekday, the bathrooms at Tink's are repugnant. I can't imagine they'll be any better than they usually are on PDD tomorrow. And while they're normally very gross and I don't think a change of ownership will really alter that on Parade Day, and while I've been stuck sneaking into the guys' bathroom on a number of occasions just to go, the one thing that really bothers me is that the toilet paper is inevitably gone by the time I get in there, considering I don't go in there in the first ten minutes or so after it opens.

So this year for a change (because in past years it never occurred to me until I was in the bathroom there on Public Drunkenness Day) I rolled up a nicely folded and considerable length of toilet paper and will be tucking it into my purse, just in case. ;)

Now all I have to do is find a place tomorrow that'll sell booze other than beer on the cheap and I'll be all set. (I won't, sadly. Le sigh.)

LOL That's so matter-of-fact and reasonable...and yet, utterly hilarious!
