Mayor broadcasts bathroom break to council chamber

It was the tinkle no one in Gerogetown, Texas will forget.

The mayor excused himself for a bathroom break during a council meeting and neglected to turn off his lapel microphone.

Mayor pro tem Rachael Jonrowe was speaking when the sounds from the bathroom echoed through the council chamber.

She was a trouper with just a few giggles at first, but when the toilet flushed, she lost it.
