Great lawsuit in Maryland:  Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Ralph Jaffe, who needed to use the facilities, said he was turned away from the governor’s mansion by security and told to use the restroom at the nearby McDonald’s.

Here’s the twist:

The aspiring governor is Jewish, and he claims that made a McDonald’s pit stop particularly unappetizing. Jewish law does not forbid relieving oneself at a nonkosher restaurant, he acknowledged, but he said he has an image to protect.

“For me to have to go to a McDonald’s, which is a nonkosher restaurant, is extremely uncomfortable for me because it’s going to give people the impression that I’m going over there to order a hamburger,” he said.

Jaffe’s federal civil rights lawsuit seeks $120,000 in damages.

I think “I’m going to order a hamburger” should become a new Jewish euphemism for having to pee.
