..... One such word is Sitzpinkler, a man who pees sitting down. Not only do the Germans have a word for it, they are remarkably more proficient at it than most other nationalities.
Recently, UK-based pollster YouGov published the results of a 13-country survey of men’s urinating preferences. This map shows the eight countries surveyed in Europe — the others were Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Singapore, and Australia. Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map: nearly two-thirds are Sitzpinkler (without final “s”: the word is both singular and plural).
Sitzpinkler statistics That puts German men well ahead of their second-placed counterparts in Sweden, where only 22% of men sit down “every time.” More Swedish men sit down “most times” (28%). Danish men place third overall (44%), ahead of Australians (39%) and Canadians (35%). The streams of French (35%) and Italian (34%) men almost cross, but despite the overall closeness of the result, a considerably larger share of French men are Sitzpinkler of the “every time” variety (19% vs. 13% in Italy). Dangling at the bottom of the European league are Poland (27%) and the UK (24%), with only 10% of Polish men and 9% of British blokes sitting down “every time.”
The U.S. is on the lower end of the scale: only 10% of American men sit down to pee “every time,” with an additional 13% “most times.” Still, this is not as low as Mexico or Singapore, where 6% and 5% of men respectively sit down to pee “every time.”

No grant.

Well, I’m a man and a plumber who has worked on, installed new, and replaced many urinals aside from using them all my life of course, I even own a urinal that I intend to install at some point.
Homes need urinals for the man and for water conservation.
my first encounter with one was in some rural town 20 miles north of Istanbul. I figured I wasn’t in Kansas anymore.
I always look at buttered corn differently since him.
What a waste of grant money.
This is not something I ever knew about and I could have lived and died not knowing and not felt like I was missing out on anything.
Sgt Fury and the Holy Roman Empire were the best.
AUTOBAHN-PINKLER:
Deployed to Germany in the 1970’s, in the bus from Rhein-Main to Wurzburg, I was surprised to see numerous German guys stopped on the shoulder of the autobahn taking a whiz…, not behind a bush, not down in the ditch, but just there on the apron, just letting it fly.

New York too.
I stopped at a gas station. The owner told me toilet paper was too expensive.
Fortunately I had some.
And I was going to fill my tank there.

Well, build a little closet for it.
Long as you clean it up...
