TOKYO (Reuters) - If you're stuck in traffic when Mother Nature calls, Japan's Kaneko Sangyo Co. has developed the loo for you.
The manufacturer of plastic car accessories drew back the curtain on Tuesday on its new portable toilet for cars.
The toilet comes with a curtain large enough to conceal users and a plastic bag to collect waste.
"The commode will come in handy during major disasters such as earthquakes or when you are caught in a traffic jam," a company official told reporters, according to Kyodo News.
Japan is situated on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and accounts for about 20 percent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.
Drivers stranded by tectonic movements or stuck in tailbacks simply assemble the cardboard toilet bowl, fit a water-absorbent sheet inside and draw round the curtain.
The product is small enough to fit inside a suitcase, the company said.
But prospective customers will have to hang on until November 15, when the firm begins selling the new product online.

Thu, October 25, 2007 - 6:58 PMYeah, too bad Heather Mills didn't have something like this when she was married to Paul McCartney. Perhaps they could have salvaged their marriage after all! :D
PS. For those who don't know, one of the reasons they divorced was supposedly Paul wouldn't let her go to the bathroom in bed, because he didn't want to feel like he was sleeping next to an "old woman." So she had to crawl out of bed at night and make her way to the bathroom. -

Well, if she could put up with a wrinkled old man 2x her age, he should have cut her a little slack. -

Here, check this out:
"After undergoing reconstructive surgery on her previously amputated leg, McCartney would not allow Mills to keep a bed pan near the bed, claiming that it was not "an old woman's home." McCartney forced Mills to have to crawl in agony to the bathroom, causing calluses and scrapes on her knees."
