The Entrepreneurial Spirit is Alive and Well!

Hey there! Thanks for clicking by today. It is always a treat to see you. And speaking of treats, fill your outheld coffee mug and snag a virtual treat or two, why don't'cha? Say...have you heard of airbnb? How about airpnp? Nah, me neither!

The website/smartphone app Airbnb, launched in 2008, connects travellers seeking lodging with individuals offering private facilities at certain prices. 

About a year ago, entrepreneur Travis Laurendine launched a similar smartphone app, "Airpnp," to connect people walking around select cities and needing access to a toilet, listing residents who make their utilities available, with description and price. Assuming that Airbnb stands for bed and breakfast, could one make a guess at what 'pnp' stands for? Sheer conjecture or educated guess suggests 'pee n poop'! Nah...far too logical, eh!

Laurendine told the New York Post in January that New York City is a promising market (though his two best cities are New Orleans and Antwerp, Belgium). 

The prices vary from free to $20, and the facilities range from a sweet-smelling room stocked with reading material to a barely maintained toilet (with no lavatory), but, said one supplier, sometimes people "really need to go, and this will have to do." [New York Post, 1-18-2015] 

Hey...there's a market out there. Everyone needs to go and, dang, sometimes one does get 'caught short'. Never drink a large glass of water or take Exlax on your way out the door, is my motto!  RENT-MY-LOO? TOIDY4U? LooHoo? Rentoidy? 

Yeah, but, you know, here if I wanted to stick a Rentoidy Here! sign in my window, I am sure it would be considered business advertising and I would need to go down to city hall and get a business license. 

I mean, it might be okay for anyone with more than one washroom/restroom/toilet. Wouldn't want to be letting out your toidy to someone only to be caught short yourself,  now would you? 

"Hey...are you going to be long in there?"

See ya, eh!
