	I don't profess to be an authority here BUT isn't the reason
	there's always a line for the womens room, that urinals
	are *much* more efficient (human engineering 101 8-).

	   Actually (I don't want to start a furror here) In Europe 
	(France??) I hear they now provide stalls for women too.  
	Wonder how that works.......
