The service is called...wait for it...MizPee. When you're done laughing and can pick yourself up off the floor, please continue reading...As the saying goes, When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

Yojo Mobile, a start-up from San Francisco, has released a new Internet-based application that will help those in need find a public restroom in 16 cities.

All you need do is enter an address or intersection and the listings will provide directions and ratings for each restroom.
