Facts:Your office's client, Mr. Yuri Nation, has recently been arrested for trespass. It seems that Yuri was attending an NBA basketball game, and during halftime he used the women's restroom because the line to the men's restroom was, in his words, excessively long, and the women's restroom was unoccupied due to a sign saying it was inoperable.
