For Sale: Bathroom With Spectacular View – Just $131,000!
A Bathroom with a View…at Quite a Cost
This week’s Golden Fleece Award is proudly presented to your Federal Government for (literally) flushing $97,000 of your bucks down the toilet.
That’s right. The Feds sent this tidy sum to Oregon to partially pay for a floating toilet.
After raising the entire $131,000 for this double hulled aluminum contraption your Oregon Marine Board planted it smack in the middle of once lovely Timothy Lake, near Mt. Hood, which most people thought was a crappy (sorry) idea because it ruined the view.
In case you’re wondering, the answer is “No – The Oregon Marine Board will not be bringing the potato salad to the Mensa picnic.”
