In September, the headmistress of the Dvergsnes primary school in Kristiansand, Norway, proposed that boys be taught to urinate while seated, in order to reduce splashing and mistargeting, which burden the cleaning staff

My wildest fantasies haven't anything to do with urination, in the interests of partial disclosure.

Darn! (Wooden you know it?)

[SkyPilot]

Or.......

[Larry Lucido]

And the other 53 feature Danish, Swedish, and Finnish headmistresses, right?

[Fitzcarraldo]

The headmistresses door will be my urinal.

[Fitzcarraldo]

The headmistresses door will be my urinal.

[wafflehouse]

not only that, but can you imaging trying to pee sitting down in snow? it would be a tragedy on many levels i think

[massgopguy]

Have they banned urinals in Norway?

[bigbob]

Seen at a small airport:

Pilots withs short stacks or low manifold pressure, please taxi up close to the urinal"

(POLITICS ASIDE) I squat when I pee at home. This keeps our bathrooms very clean. And I am not a liberal or metrosexual; and I served in armed forces; and I own guns. It just keeps bathroom clean at home. I do it standing upright in public places though. So what's wrong with all that?

[HitmanLV]

I'm transparent, aren't I? :-)

Great! Yet another attack on manhood

Too much of this and the kids wind up like:

An incident report indicated that a male in the fraternity was spotted wearing pink fairy wings and women's underwear and was not able to walk on his own.

Feminazis strike again!

[wafflehouse]

you must be a fast reader

[lafroste]

Haven't these idiots ever heard of urinals? Those things are 5 feet high starting at the floor. In Tiajuana, the urinals are floor to head height troughs that even the most inebriated can't miss even if they try.

or so I've been told...

[Last Laugh]

Democrats probably need no instruction for this. It is likely already the practice among metrosexuals. I can see Kerry doing it.

Oh great, now I can see it too. So much for lunch.

[razorback-bert]

Or to keep dogs from drinking.

[Kirkwood]

"I served in armed forces; and I own guns"

??? I fail to see the connection between this and urinating. I don't equate serving and gun ownership with manhood if that's what you meant.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Sitting down will only encourage males to spend more time in the loo. I didn't think that was possible.

Years ago, at a Navy command to which I was stationed, the base public works was jackhammering up the concrete floor behind one of the restrooms.

During this time, the CO called a meeting of all female personnel in the building.

One of the female Petty Officers I worked with came back from the meeting having a really hard time hiding her mirth.

The meeting was called to tell the women to NOT flush their sanitary napkins down the toilet.

That's why the floor was being torn up.
