Talking Urinal Cakes Offer Drinking And Driving Advice (Talking Urinal Cakes? BRILLIANT!)

SANTA FE

New Mexico is taking its fight against drunken driving to men's restrooms around the state.

The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-D-W-I message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

The top of the devices feature the state D-W-I slogan -- "You drink, you drive, you lose."

Some Albuquerque bars installed the devices this week.

And the state Transportation Department plans to distribute them to Santa Fe bars and restaurants as well as establishments in Farmington, Gallup and Las Cruces.

The state spent 21 dollars for each talking urinal cake for the pilot program but will ask bars and restaurants to pay for future orders if the idea catch on.

The cakes have enough battery power to last about three months.

I wonder if it will also say things such as "Damn, cut back on the asparagus!"

I would imagine that if a urinal cake talks to you, you already know you've had enough.

How would you like to be "in position" when a laughing urinal cake goes off?

Then there's the "smart" urinal cake that responds to the user's "output":

"Gee, buddy, I hope your driving is better than your aim..."

"0.2% -- Urine trouble now!"

I would have thought the slogan on the cakes would be "Urine New Mexico. Don't drink and drive!"

Would they be a spin-off of the Talking Heads?

Inevitably they are going to come out with talking urinal cakes that sound like Richard Simmons.

I just had a very bad visual and I'm trying to get it out of my head. Aaarrghh.

Maybe what they will need is customized messages that take into account individual ....proclivities...when you step up to the ceramic receptacle. Maybe a RFID button on your jeans that says, "I'm not gay, I swear. (Not that there's anything wrong with that". Then, you get a message from Brittany if you are in your 20s, or Nicole Kidman if you are in your 30s, or Heather Locklear if you are in your 40s, or Kate Jackson if you are in your 50s, etc. If you're 147, THEN you get Helen Thomas.

As you belly up, the voice says, "hey baby, show me what you got." Then it pretends to be impressed. Then, as you are doing what you went there to do, the voice can do some coaching: "that's it, right there, ooh yeah", or "slow down, not so hard, we've got all night", or some such.

Then, when it's over, it says "call me", in a pleading voice, as you zip up and scurry out the door.

This may just catch on.

...brought to you by Scared Straight.

I've driven through NM just twice, about 20 years ago, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one to have used most of those restrooms in years.
