Finally, an Invention That Truly Serves Humanity

The Kaneko Sangyo Corp. of Japan has invented a product that could revolutionize life in Southern California -- the backseat car commode. Reuters reports:

Drivers stranded by tectonic movements or stuck in tailbacks simply assemble the cardboard toilet bowl, fit a water-absorbent sheet inside and draw round the curtain.

That said, I shudder at the thought of motorists' careening down Ventura Blvd., cell phone in one hand, cheeseburger in the other, while, um, doing their business in the potty.

SoCal driving could soon be getting even uglier ...
