Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser.

The geyser was not erupting at the time.

But why did they have to piss there of all friggin places?

Because Ted Kennedy doesn't have a grave yet?

I think it's kinda natural for males to whizz on things. lol Twice this week, I've seen parents allow their little boys to pee in public. The first was the Walmart parking lot and then again just yesterday at the Botanic garden (tree).

Those of us with female offspring walk them to the restroom like the civilized. :D

"Old Faithful"

Two questions supposedly asked of park workers by tourists: (1) when do they turn on the geysers and (2) when do they let the animals out?

Well, that’s different if you are on 40 acres. I said your yard like right in front of your own house. Would y ou really want to do that? I wouldn’t.

It’s a little known fact that Old Faithful only erupts when toilets are flushed at the Old Faithful Inn.

But think of all the water they saved by not having to flush the toilet, they were just doing their part for the environment.

We wizz right next to the house all the time.

It is an excellent way to inform wildlife that there is a large carnivore who considers this his territory. The bear that lives further up the mountain stays about 200 yards away. The cougar I shot last year did not heed the warning.

It's a shame and a pity

You were raised up

in the city

and never learned nothin'

'bout country ways...

Just a little snippet of a song I remember, nothing personal intended.

It’s right next to “Don’t take a bath in the kitchen sink at Burger King.”

Lol. Our neighbors had a Cockapoo dog. They went to Yellowstone on a camping trip. One day, while walking their dog, a fellow tourist started shouting, " A bear ! A bear ! Those people have a bear on a leash !

Yes, there are some mighty dumb people in the world.
