"Potty Parity," huh?

It'll be so cold that waiting on line won't be the worst part ~ can you imagine finally reaching the head of the queue and then having to sit on a frozen cold porta-potty seat? Males making #1 won't have to face that eventuality, but more than half the attendees will.

None for me, thanks.

Many many years ago I made a couple of trips to DC for gigantic "mobilization" demonstrations, where the crowd itself was the event. Being in midst of thousands of folks, unable to see anything except the backs of countless heads, did not, on those cases, constitute "missing" anything ~ we were what was happening. (Even though, in the end, no one was able to levitate the Pentagon...)

An inauguration is something else entirely. Unless you can see and/or hear the swearing-in, you will be missing the event. And only a small fraction of the multitudes descending upon the city will find themselves in such a position.
