That's funny! So funny that I wet myself.

Americans are surprised when I tell them that a famous symbol of the country of Belgium is "Mannekin Pis," a 17th century statue of a naked boy urinating into a fountain.

That's an amazing story. The "Mannekin Pis" statue actually commemorates an event in Belgian history where a young child helped to avert a major disaster by peeing on a small fire before it could spread.

I learned that from the Belgian owner of a restaurant in the small town of St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.

The restaurant is named "Mannekin Pis," by the way, and it has a replica of that statue prominently displayed out on the front lawn.

My best friend is Dutch & she will pee ANYWHERE. I have never seen such nerves of steel. In the park with people on the trail walking toward us, she will step behind a tree & drop her shorts. Its a Euro kind of thing.
