"Seattle has officially washed its hands of the five self-cleaning toilets.
The toilets cost the city $5 million. They sold on eBay Thursday evening for
$12,549."

I think the city fathers are going to take the money from the sale of the
toilets and invest it in "free" bicycles. They'll paint them green and
scatter them around the downtown area so that folks can "get it here, leave
it there."

This plan has been a disaster in every city that's tried it, but that won't
stop Seattle. No sir.
