This reminds me of the quote by the technologically out-of-his-depth general in War Games where he said he’d urinate on a spark plug if it would do any good.
If I was more technologically inclined myself, I’d post a picture of him with the quote.

I see more bars with cheap beer.

Man, in order for this to go full scale, they’re gonna need a LOT of urine... this sounds like a job I qualify for!

I was thinking of hooking it up to the sailboat. Then we wouldn’t have to get the holding tank pumped out so often.

Just to be on the safe side, as Ren Hoek would advise, “Don’t wizz on the electric fence.”

The Romans collected urine to bleach clothes with and our own Revolutionists collected it to make niter for gunpowder.

My dad used to tell me “if bullsh*t was electricity, you could light up the world”. Maybe he was on to something...

Old people urinate a lot. That means they are valuable. That makes the Obummer-care death panels destructive to an alternative energy source. :)
