    When Pope Francis visits the Philippines next week, traffic enforcers won’t let the capital’s streets get gridlocked if they have to answer the call of nature.

    About 2,000 traffic enforcers who will be on duty during the 15-19 January papal visit will be required to wear adult diapers, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman, Francis Tolentino, said.

    Tolentino also encouraged people who will wait for hours to see the pope to also wear diapers.

    The prospect of wearing diapers while on duty was “well received” by his men, he said on Wednesday.

    What is the most ridiculous thing that an employer has expected you to do?
    Fortunately, I have not had any unreasonable requests made of me during my working life.

    Its a bit of a mad story to be honest. Filipinos tend to be good reasonable people when compared to some of their neighbours....but this story is true.
    Checked it with a workmate who also informed me that they have just been given three days public holidays to celebrate the popes visit.

    My wife's aunt was a nun who traveled to many countries doing vocational and missionary work; I remember her saying that The Philippines was her most enjoyable time. She couldn't speak highly enough about the people.

    At the end of the workday I'd drop my tweeds, take off my piss and dung sodden diaper and launch it into the crowd and then listen for that dull slop-thump sound as it connected with one or more heads sending its contents in all directions followed by the cries of disgust and revulsion.

    The police should refuse the order, take their toilet breaks as is their human right, and hope someone murders the pope in their absence. Everyone's happy.

    Far from diapers you were raised...unless you're American. If so, carry on.
