This is the kind of non sense I would expect from China, Romney and Obama.

BEIJING – Public restrooms in Beijing must contain no more than two flies per stall, according to a bizarre new directive issued to washroom attendants.

The Beijing Municipal Commission of City Administration and Environment issued the rule Monday as a "new standard for public toilet management," the Beijing News reported.

Xie Guomin, the official in charge of the initiative, told the newspaper that the two-fly rule was not compulsory, but was a new benchmark to improve the Chinese capital's notoriously unpleasant public restrooms.

Online critics pounced on the new initiative, questioning how officials planned to enforce it and whether inspectors would actually visit the restrooms to count the number of insects per stall.

Xie said, "We will not actually count fly numbers. The regulation is specific and quantified, but the inspection methodology will be flexible."

many conflicting terms in this piece

a directive, standard, or initiative is not the same as a 'rule'

rules are indeed compulsory , whereas the other three are not

I've been in quite a few American public restrooms that could use the 2 fly rule, also the no crap on the wall and mirror rule, the no piss on the floor rule, and the no used condom outside the trash rule.

To rid ourselves of the crap and piss we must rid ourselves of the homeless and drunks!
