1. That looks more like a sign born of life experience

I don't think it's the official policy of the folks who maintain the urinal.

2. When I still wrote bathroom grafitti, my favorite was "Please don't eat the little pink mints."

3. "Don't throw toothpicks into the urinals. The crabs here can pole vault."

4. Yeah, you'd like to think that people would know this

OTOH, I give props to you guys who do use urinals. When I made my first foray into a men's room (we won't discuss that, here) I was shocked. Guys pee right next to each other?? Horrors!! Most women I know don't even use those communal fitting rooms in stores, they're so modest.

The gum thing, though. Aaaggghhh!

5. When I was a little kid I went to a county fair...

...and the men's room didn't have urinals. It used the trough system.

That's right, one long trough, no dividers, everybody lines up and takes care of business.

6. That's what they have at Wrigley Field.

And nobody plucks wads of DoubleMint out of them.

7. That must have stunk something awful.

Speaking of which, I've heard about them, but what exactly are urinal cakes? I could Google but I'm sure the definition would be more lively here at DU.

8. They are hockey-puck shaped air fresheners in urinals-

that one tries to hit in the center with his stream, with the goal of making a depression.

11. Put something in a urinal-

it's going away. Bars dump ice in them.We want to melt and melt it all. A fly? It's going down the drain. They even put plastic filters in there sometimes that change color when the warm waste is directed at it. They know their audience.

14. If that one had air fresheners, they were urine-scented...

...it was just a big ceramic trough in the middle of a New England summer that fairgoers were relieving themselves into.

9. We're turning into a nanny state.

I damn well will eat gum from the urinal if I want to.

13. I'd like to see the face on the employee who noticed someone without gum

going into the urinal, then blowing bubbles upon leaving, and asked, where'd you get the gum?
