Because of the obnoxious phenomena of long restrooms lines for women, it's the law in the City of Santa Monica that gals may use the boys' room when there's a line for the ladies' loo.

I was skiing. I came off the slopes and had to go REAL bad. So I go into a stall and have a seat. A minute or so later I hear a couple women walk in talking. I quickly think they've made a mistake, but then I recall that I didn't remember seeing any urinals when I walked in. So, not wanting to feel stupid, I figure I'll just sit there until they're gone.

There was a rush on the bathroom after that. I sat there for 45 minutes before I figured it would never empty out.

Well, my friends had been looking for me and had pretty much deduced what had happened. When I finally just got up and left (there were still two women in the there who looked at me like I was insane when I came out of the stall), they were waiting outside the bathroom laughing hysterically.

Not since the restraining order.

A good time to post this picture again from our cruise last year. This is the entrance to the ladies room at a restaurant in Puerta Vallarta. It just might cause ladies to want to use the men's room.

For future reference when you're in Idaho:
 

1. Best behavior in the bathroom
2. The Golden Corral in Pocatello has a lovely buffet - very clean.

Do you have any great hints for Boise? It sounds like we will be there in a week, thankfully for only two days!

Yes, it is pronounced boy-see. Not boy-zee.

Otherwise, I've only driven through the town and can't help.

See, that only makes me want to watch Almodovar's Hable Con Ella again.
