"Like much else that happens on Curb, the urinal redesign comes from a place of spite," says Joe Berkowitz. "The season’s longest-running arc finds our curmudgeonly hero opening a coffee shop next door to his nemesis, Mocha Joe (Saverio Guerra), in an effort to siphon off business. In the lead-up to the grand opening of the spite shop, Larry David (or his alter ego, anyway) has to deal with staffing issues, coffee bean sourcing, and of course, restroom layout. This being Larry David, however, the restrooms couldn’t just contain your garden-variety conveniences. Instead, they have to be porcelain vessels for Larry David (probably not just the alter ego) to air out some bathroom grievances. First and foremost, there’s no #2. Larry-style men’s rooms only have urinals, and his women’s rooms only have a urinal as well."
