Don's what? Portable toilet names covered for inauguration

This is just too perfect....

[img][/img]

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's the great port-a-potty cover-up for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

Workers preparing for the inauguration Jan. 20 have taped over the name of the company — "Don's Johns" — that has long supplied portable restrooms for major outdoor events in the nation's capital.

Virginia-based Don's Johns calls itself the Washington area's top provider of portable toilet rentals. But the name apparently strikes too close to home for inaugural organizers.

Workers have placed blue tape over the company name on dozens of portable restrooms installed near the Capitol for the inauguration.

The company's name is clearly visible upon close inspection, but is blocked for a wide-angle view by a TV or still camera.

Those can be made rather quickly. Self-adhesive printer paper and can be made at home. Peel and stick. Would only take seconds to put them on a potty.

And one could paste a picture of tRump's face on each toilet seat, with a hole cut out for the mouth.

Nearby would be helpful, too:

"This was to the golden showers"

"Don't get peed on. Use Don's Johns!"

"It's not the Moscow Ritz Carlton, but the pee will flow!"

In addition to lacking grace and manners, Trump has no sense of humor.

Although the new General in charge of the DC National Guard may have issued "Shoot to Kill" orders.
