Okay, since you brought it up. We have all been told that if you are lost in the woods and something needs to be flushed out of your eye, urine is the best thing.

Now to get personal, I come from a long line of country folk. My great grandmother (as well as everyone else at the time) used a few drops of urine for earaches.

Which brings up the point: Other than the fact that it just "seems" disgusting, what is actually "bad" about urine?

" if you are lost in the woods and something needs to be flushed out of your eye, urine is the best thing. "

Wow--sure'd like to meet the guy who could do that!

Somehow that brings to mind the title of a song by the band "Death by Stereo", entitled "I Wouldn't P*** in Your Ear If Your Brain Was On Fire".

Come to think of it, another of their colorful song titles is an appropriate theme for the Democratic Convention: "You're a Bull**** Salesman With a Mouthful of Samples".

I read an article in the paper awhile back that said during WWII the soldiers urinated on their feet to kill athletes feet germs. So fellows when you're in that shower aim for the toes.
Also, my mother said urine would cure the pink eye.
