| Benevolent overlord Rick Michigan got some yucks at the State of the State about toilet seat regulations. Naturally, this happened: Department of Environmental Quality rules require that outhouse openings be covered when not in use. But no regulation requires outhouses to have hinged seats or dictates whether seats be left up or down. Snyder joked that he doesn't need the state telling him to put the seat down.
This is such a small thing, but yet it is also such a big thing. The article goes on to identify why the state requires outhouse seats to be covered when not in use, and it has to do with the spread of disease and vermin. In other words, benevolent overlord Rick Michigan's joke really ought to be funny only to people who don't flush their toilets after use. The real punchline here is that an entire political ideology thought it a right hoot. |
