Not funny at the time, but really funny now ........ Several years ago, here in St. Charles, MO, when my mother was still alive. We were going to see these fireworks, which had a reputation for being fantastic. Right before they were scheduled to start, my mother needed to go to the port-a-potty. They had a problem too, which they all went off within 45 seconds. My mother came back to us and ask why are we leaving. We told her what happened and she ended up missing the whole thing.
