A Long Way to Find A Bathroom

Here is a cheap impression of Paul Harvey. Have you ever heard the expression about being up to your neck in crap?

Climbers and walkers can worry less about eating yellow snow in the French Alps, thanks to the installation of two public toilets on the highest mountain in the range.

Mont Blanc – Europe’s highest mountain – can be saved the nickname of Mont Jaune thanks to the two public toilets that have been set up near the summit of the 4,800 metre high mountain.

The latrines will be the highest in Europe, according to mayor of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains Jean-Marc Peillex, standing, or sitting if you will, at an altitude of 4,260 metres.

“This move was much needed. Our beautiful mountain’s white peak was full of yellow and brown spots in summer. It used to look very dirty and was also wrecking the environment,” the Times of India reported Mr Peillex as lamenting.

And now you know the rest of the story.
