Oversight- Re: [pct-l] User Fees

["R.J. Calliger (510.502.5552)" <calliger@infolane.com>]

Well in California we have two fees you apparrently do not have or you just
forgot  list:

1- Lukewarm shower fee:  .25
2- Dirty and cracked poddy use fee: .10

There certainly has been a clear degradation in both of these services
except for
the shiney new coin machines in some places you can sit on the cracked john
looking
at the new coin-op machine your money is paying for (as well as the  person to
empty it and send the money to Big Brother in Washington)--

Now that's a crappy deal!
