vanillafluffyThose of you who listened to my senior prom story last week (http://vanillafluffy.livejournal.com/185150.html), will understand why the following news article made me grin:
Ark. school to have port-a-potty prom Thu Apr 19, 10:52 PM ET
Plumbing problems at an armory that will host the Magnolia High School prom Saturday night has prompted organizers to arrange for portable toilets outside.
The National Guard is debating whether to repair or replace sewer lines leading from the armory at Southern Arkansas University. The high school was notified about the problem last week and decided to leave the prom at the armory, which has air conditioning and adequate parking.
Prom coordinator Whitney Whitelaw said students have reacted well, remarking that they would be sure to pose for photographs in front of the portable toilets for their scrapbooks.
School district spokesman Scott Nipper said "deluxe" portable toilets would be available, along with a hand-washing station. Also, golf carts will be standing by to take students to another campus building to use restrooms there, if desired.
The armory has hosted the prom for 17 years.

"You think I'm wearing this dress in there? Do you have any idea what it cost? Drag it through an outhouse? Uh-uh! I don't think so! Rev up that golf cart, Bubba!"
