I just peed on a urinal screen!

I'd heard that some of the big gas-station chains had installed TV screens above their urinals to force customers to watch commercials while they're peeing. Today, however, was the first time I actually encountered one in my travels.

Do you know how distracting it is to have a goddamned commercial blaring at you and flashing in your face when you're trying to pee? So I decided to, shall we say, take matters into my own hands. I wasn't sure if my aim was that good, or if I had enough pressure built up in my bladder to pee that high. But I said screw it, I'm gonna give it a shot (so to speak).

I'm happy to report that when I cut loose, it was with a nice, heavy stream, much of which actually did hit the urinal screen. (Never mind where the rest of it went.) It's times like this that make me glad I was born a male! :beer:

...but your post made me laugh out loud!

Have you seen the bathrooms where you don't have to touch anything by hand? Even the paper towel dispensers have an electric eye. Freaky.

Edit - forgot a word

The fully automated public restroom of the future. ;-)

NT!

Without getting back-splash all over yourself?

:crazy:

Thanks for the afternoon Laugh! I can't help but think somewhere Abbie Hoffman is giving you a big :thumbsup:

...but I don't want to make you guys sick...

with Peter Coyote and Hugh Grant. It er... touches on this subject. ;-)

you didn't hit some electricity there. Ouch!

that there's several thousand volts sitting on the CRT (unless it's a plasma or LCD screen)

...just what a urinal screen could be. I figured it was another of those guy things that I've never seen. Not that I'm complaining mind you. It's been a while since I've been in a men's room. :evilgrin:

would you like to meet the person who has to clean up after you and your protest "statement"? She's probably a she and she's probably struggling to make ends meet. Sorry to rain on your parade (pardon the pun again)! :-)
