Makes sense. When I was in college, I used to frequent McSorley's
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McSorleys_Old_Ale_House). You couldn't order
one beer, they only came in pairs. Now I know the reason.
When were you in college. I spent many an evening in McSorley's in the
70's. I've heard they've since put in a women's room getting rid of the
need of the bouncer at the door to the john who would yell "Woman coming in"

Cooper Union, class of 81. Had an apartment on St. Marks Place. When I
was there, there was still just the one bathroom. I don't remember any
bouncer, though. It seemed to work out OK. The guys didn't mind, and the
kind of women who hung out there didn't seem to mind either. I mean, come
on, there were doors on the stalls. Some people really are prudes when it
comes to bodily functions.

NCE '65. Two steins for a quarter. Where would they have put a second
bog, anyway?
