A big splash occurred on Monday morning at the House Press Gallery in the U.S. Capitol. No, this wasn’t one of those unexpected guest appearances for celebrities to talk to reporters about some favorite cause.
This splash came from an exploding urinal. More specifically, something suddenly broke in the piping of the third-floor urinal, and water began spewing from beneath the men’s room door.Take a guess where the, um, eau de toilet wound up?
As the water flowed, it first surrounded the Associated Press’s working area, then spread toward both ends of the gallery, which was occupied by fewer than usual reporters and staffers, because the House is out of session until Tuesday.Yep, it hit the AP first, then proceeded onto the House. AP, then the House. There's an allegory there, I just wish I could tease it out... There's just a delicious sense of schadenfreude as I think of all that fragrant, useful water flowing freely over the Associated Press's working area. One wonders if it impacted their reporting accuracy in the slightest...
Try as I may, I can't think of any good reason not to laugh hysterically at this...
That is all.
Thanks to FarmDad in Gunblogger Conspiracy chat for bringing this wonderful story to my attention...

If there was that much water it was probably a supply pipe rupture rather than a drain, so the water probably wasn't all that fragrant. But the thought of an AP flack getting jolted by his recording gear as he stands in the puddle makes me giggle.
Still the solution is DC switching to those waterless hippie urinals.
That way the whole capital will smell like a porto-john (potta-potty in Mumbleeze) on a hot sunny day!
