MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- When Pope Francis visits the Philippines next week, traffic enforcers won't let the capital's streets get gridlocked if they have to answer the call of nature.

About 2,000 traffic enforcers who will be on duty during the Jan. 15-19 papal visit will be required to wear adult diapers, said Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Francis Tolentino.

Tolentino also encouraged people who will wait for hours to see the pope to also wear diapers.

(Did you ever wear diapers while waiting for Gorden B. Or Monson?)

Did I ever wear a Depends, while waiting to see one of the LD$, Inc. annointed?

No.


But I sure needed to wear one, after I finally wised up and left TSCC -- then went back and figured out how much tithing tax I'd paid the corporation over my 50+ years of activity !

Hey, if Monson wears diapers, you should, too.

...alrighty then.

Well, that's disturbing. No sleep tonight.

This might be partially a cultural thing. I've heard that people in Japan (for example) see diapers as a convenience and will use them voluntarily when getting to a restroom will be difficult.

Wow, I doubt it's "a cultural thing". I was born and raised in the Philippines, and this is the first time I heard...We were also stationed in Japan for 4 years from 2001-2005, and I never hear about wearing diapers!!!

I couldn't imagine trying to perform my day job while feeling cold wet poo on my butt cheeks. Change me please!

There's got to be a better way!!!

Maybe one of those 5 million people that attended Pope John Paul's visit in 1995 can tell us what they did when they had to use the bathroom!

If it's that important they just need to hold it all day. That's the way important things have been done for centuries before their were bathrooms. I remember being a missionary when the GA's would come. One came and spoke for 8 hours straight. What he had to say was that important, apparently. We held it, sat in silence, and didn't move all that time.

What in heavens name could one of those Bozos ramble on about, for eight hours straight?

Did you at least get a lunch break?

I wouldn't be surprised if our Secret Service details while protecting the president, do the same.
