I DON’T EVEN SIT DOWN TO POOP!

[ari-freedom]

They’re doing this for hygiene? ummm if you stand your body doesn’t touch the toilet.

Really, they just want men to be like women.

[ari-freedom]

“I would love to know how they plan to enforce this.”

You don’t see? They want to abolish the men’s room. Just one kind of toilet for everyone.

[andyk]

LOL! Poor Butters. Where else would you rest your comic book and chocolate milk?

[ari-freedom]

“Sounds like a certain country that is in control of the European Union . . . the men there do #1 seated.”

In their pants after reading the financial news.

[TruthWillWin]

In your dreams?

Funniest thing I have read all day. Thanks.

Paging Michael R. Bloomberg...Paging Michael R. Bloomberg...

[varmintman]

Just indoors or when out in the woods as well??

[Tainan]

So now I have to sit in the shower?
Don't think thats going to happen.

[tsowellfan]

The only time I do that is when I don’t want my wife to know I’m still up.

[VanShuyten]

You all seem to think this is funny. It is crazy but it has been around a long time. In 2004, an alarm to prevent men from standing up was marketed in Germany.

Don't forget that strict Muslims also squat to pee. I've seen footprints on the toilet seats at my college.

I’ll bet Obama pees sitting down.

I was just wondering whether the Swedes use that word, or have one similar.

I can see them ban have urinals in a men’s room. But, assuming we have toilet privacy in a stall, how would anyone know if you sit or stand to do # 1? I guess we can assume all will sit to do #2, but again, how do you enforce something like this?

Almost pathetically simple, with modern technology that is.

Think microphones, digital signal processors, warning lights & buzzers on wall-sized maps in the DoPE (Department of Pinkler Enforcement).

Based on my personal observations, I would say at least 50% of the previous toilet users were filthy, disgusting animals who couldn't be bothered to avoid covering the toilet seat with their urine.

Robert Klein did a fine bit on a gig he did years ago at the Hungry i in San Francisco (I think that was the club and location).

It was evidently kind of a mess. He said about the men's room, "It was the kind of mens' room where you put tissue on the door handle going in." And he remembered his (Jewish) mother's instruction from his yoot. "Public toilet seats are the worst thing in the world! World War II was started by a public toilet seat! Never sit on one! Hover! Squat! Use someone else's a$$ if you have to! But never sit on one!"

I’d bet my last dollar that you are a fan of Robert Heinlein.

As for the article....well, what can I say? Those Europeans sure have some wacky ideas.

Regards,

PS: I’m a girl, so I’ve never been inside a public men’s room. However, my children are all boys and I do know a little bit about the importance of hitting your target. We used floating Cheerios to improve their aim when they were little and added an “if-Mommy-sees-pee-anywhere-but-in-the- toilet-one-of-you-boys-will-clean-it-up” rule when they got a little bit older. Having to clean up somebody else’s pee a couple of time does wonders for one’s aim.

[Erasmus]

I pee wherever I want to, usually outside while looking at the stars

...on Hollywood Boulevard.

Sorry--couldn't resist.
