A Swedish political party is taking a stand against upright urination.

At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

What about women that piss standing up?

Like Janet Nappy?

I believe the term in Europe used for the Euroweenies who support this is: “Sitzpinklers”.

I take it Larry Craig won't be going to Sweden anytime soon.

Neither will the Secretary Of State.

If Swedish men have to squat to pee then they should hand in their man cards.

“Expect the next law after that to force manufacturers to have built-in-unhinged seats.”

They can try it, but it would be a disaster. We’d still pee standing up, just trying to aim through the smaller opening. The poor fellows who need to do number 2 will be the ones to suffer the consequences.

‘Sitzpinkler’ - you gotta LOVE German. I cannot believe they think this is outmoded. I am a woman, and I find it offensive to ask that of men. I do believe it is envy.

My husband says that men will still stand anyway. Then the women will hate that!!

A Harvard graduate walks into the restroom and procedes to use the urinal. When he is done, he travels over to the sink and begins to wash his hands. As he does so, he sees a Marine in his dress blues walk in, use the urinal, and walk out without stopping to wash his hands. The Harvard grad hurries out of the bathroom and catches up with the guy.

“Didn’t the Marine Corps teach you to wash your hands after you use the bathroom?” the Harvard grad asks.

The Marine gives him a blank stare and replies, “Didn’t the Harvard teach you not to pee on your hands?”

Navy fliers taunt Air Force pilots with “Flare to land, and squat to pee”, which emphasizes how the manly navy pilots slam the aircraft onto the carrier deck at high speed.

I had similar advise from my orthopedic surgeon years ago.
He didn’t tell me to sit but I assumed that was what he was suggesting when he told me to avoid heavy lifting./s
