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

Well, I was raised in WVa, my grandparents who lived with us used the chamberpot up until their deaths in the nineties as well.

My dad's best buddy, who was a real hillbilly with nine kids used to open the window on the second floor and piss out the window every morning.

There was a yellow spot on the ground there that we avoided while playing in the yard.

I would like to see how many men here admit to having a 'pee jug.' I have to go three or four times a night just like clockwork. It was exhausting getting up, going to the toilet and finding my way back to bed. It also disturbed the cat. I got a wide mouth detergent jug and I use that to get me through the night. I carry one in the car for emergencies also.

I heard about that. That was a major embarrassment to UCF.

Remember the South Park episode where the new trend for the elite was shoving food up their rears and defacating out the oral cavity.

Same old bull...

[Malacoda]

I have brothers who are overachievers. I just BET they could manage to miss.

[ErnBatavia]

I'd never aim at the fly...with my luck it'd - of course - take off, and wetly land on my nose.

Hi Belasarius-

If one is going to the bathroom "three or four times" in one night it would be prudent to visit an endocrinologist to eliminate diabetes as a cause. Better to check those things out early to avoid complications down the road!

GEEEEZ!

"...it was a weird looking device..."

Funny, I've heard similar words before. As long as everything is functional, who cares?

[tarheelswamprat]

It also adds a new dimension to the name "SuperFly", since no one can knock him off.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

These help prevent poor aim.

>>>I do sit to pee when I have to go in the middle of the night. It beats turning on the light and being blinded. <<<

So do I - cause without my contacts in, I can't hit the side of a barn, much less a little porcelain bowl. Lights on of off, makes no difference.

actually quite relaxing - have dozed off a couple of times - lol!

[HardStarboard]

>>>"We aim to please, You aim too please."<<<

I've also seen: "Aim carefully, the man behind you may be in his bare feet"

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Some people can't help splashing, however.

[ZULU]

Do they call her "head"mistress because she is in charge of toilletes?

[Belasarius]

Yeah, I have but I drink a lot of coffee also. I'm quite hip to the problem you mention and a friend of mine died from bladder cancer: same symptoms as diabetes and he had slightly elevated glucose. They treated the heck of his diabetes for about three months without eliminating the frequent urination. After he finally went to a specialist it was too late. They found out that his bladder volume had been significantly reduced by the cancer. He lasted a couple of months after that.

[pabianice]

Half measures. If boys simply had their penises amputated after birth so many subsequent problems could be avoided...

[Rocky]

Well, I guess it is her business. After all, she is the head mistress.

[bethelgrad]

It's not lifting the seat up or down that is the issue, it's that he has a bent penis that causes him to miss the whole bowl and hit the wall that is the problem. He thinks he can just stand there without aiming it.

[festus]

No but if you do it right you could hit the wall across from ya. That should really calm down the old bat.

[spinestein]

There's an easier and faster way to get boys to urinate while seated.

Castration also has the benefit of making the little predators less aggressive toward each other, less likely to brutalize girls and less likely to wander away. The government should make this mandatory for all boys by the age of nine.
