So, is the action they are taking against the City of Dayton that they’re going door-to-door and handing out bottles of Beano, or what?

If the Grand Canyon can blame the smog it sees on Los Angeles, than why not?

I just wonder if this odor caused by The City of Dayton is also permeated into the Men’s Room…
What kind of action are they going to take? Sue the City? Then I suppose it’s time for Bay Area residents to sue the City of Milpitas, cause it stinks too!

What is Dayton feeding those women? Maybe something in the water?

I tried telling my wife that the odor from under the covers was actually the City of Dayton’s fault too.

Dayton’s smelled like that for decades, do you really think they’ll change just because a couple of office marms made a phone call?

Dayton
The entire town of Dayton was found dead in what appears to be a biological attack. Analysis of the atmophere revealed that the air contained 100,000 parts per million of Febreze.
No suspects have been identified, but an anonymous source reports overhearing an unidentified individual in the vicinity muttering that “that damn ladies’ room might actually smell OK now.”

The entire city of Dayton went to the women’s room at the conference center to take a dump, apparently. Probably one of those beer + hard boiled eggs + beans + broccoli + cabbage dumps.

Actually the note is accurate. They don’t have plumbing in Dayton so people drive down to Cincy by the busload and poop in suburban offices. The problem is that Daytonians don’t know how to flush.

I’ve been blaming my gas problems on the nearest municipality for years. Thankfully, I don’t live near Dayton…according to PAN commenters, it’s charmless.

Let me get this sraight.
The very existence of The City of Dayton causes foul odors in Ladies Rooms?
Does the Ladies Room have the only drains linked to the city sewer system? Why no foul odors in the Men’s Room? The kitchen? The water fountains?
Why so many questions?

Speaking of REO Speedwagon:
What’s that awfull smell? Ew.
What’s that awfull smell? Ew.
The ladies room has a smell that’s from way out of town.
You say you called the city in
but they won’t work on the weekend
It’s such an awfull smell got the restroom shut down.
But I know the neighborhood
You ate Skyline Chili and you said it was good
So you blame Dayton and it’s way out of line
So I’m blaming you babe
I think you made a poo babe
So light a match and throw out that sign
Could you stop blaming Dayton, baby
We know you took a crap, baby
And I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
I know that you did it
You know you’re the one so you’re blaming Day-TON.

At least it’s not as nauseating as a bathroom drenched in Febreeze!!??

I like to think of it as a “fragrance.”

Next they’ll be saying that those damn “Pudding Flushers” of Phillidelphia are clogging the toilets.

I carry a sign like this for those uncomfortable times at the office when there’s no hiding the reality, it helps me explain away the odor, but I always get stuck trying to explain the whole Dayton thing, being I don’t live there.

I believe the City of Dayton is also responsible for:
The war in Iraq
Global Warming
Hurricane Katrina (but not Rita, I blame that one on Topeka)
The extinction of the passenger pigeon
The death of Heath Ledger
and . . . Fruitcake.

Baby, if you’ve ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I’m breathin’ all my air in Cincinnati,
‘Cause bathrooms up in Dayton smell like pee.
Got kind of tired of sprayin’ Glade and Lysol,
Can to can, on the odor vile.
Nothing’s got a smell like Dayton’s bathroom hell,
Just maybe think of me once in a while.
I’m in J.R.’s W.C. in Cincinnati…

Hi all - is anyone else having login problems? I logged in & it showed me my profile, but (as you can see) PAN doesn’t show me as logged in. Any suggestions? (Cleared my cache, started over, changed my PWD…can’t think of anything else.) Kerry????????

Ok, never mind. As soon as I posted something, it showed me as logged in. CRAZY. (Either me or the site…probably both.)

I will take the word of the Ohio residents here that Dayton sucks.
With that as a given, who the hell holds meetings at this conference center? The National Society of Navel Lint and Booger Pickers?

the sign is hysterical and as soemone living inthe heart of dayton, there are some interestin smells that come from various places in the area, but this is my hometown and i love her. i see amazing things almost everyday from members of this community. Ive lived in other areas of the region, and dayton isnt as horrible as people make it.
dayton holds the patents to more inventions then any other city in the world. that can of coke you love. the pop top invented in dayton. that car you love to drive, you can start it without the little crank on the outside, because of an inventor in dayton. being able to pay in any store you go to, thank dayton for thier cash registers and credit card readers. i live in dayton and i dont think that it sucks by any means. its not the booming place it once was bnut there is such a deep history here and an amazing arts community. there are far worse places to live, those of you who hate living here, get out an actually explore what your area has to offer and give back, make the community yours instead of complaining on how horrible it is to live here, if you still hate it, get the fuck out because you are probably the ones stinking up the bathroom.
