A local government official in the Netherlands is recommending people save money and resources by peeing in the shower.
Bert Wassink, a council member in the Drenthe municipality of Aa en Hunze, said residents can reduce water consumption by combining shower time with toilet time, DutchNews.nl reported Wednesday.
Wassink made his comments as part of the council's 2013 sustainability initiative, which has saving water as one of its focal points.
The official said peeing in the shower "saves lots of clean water and is good for the environment."
"If you combine showers and peeing, you save a lot of water and money, so why not?" asked Wassink, who said he makes the practice a daily habit.

Ha! Ha! Ha! . . and YOU think SHE doesn’t? Seriously? - The idea that this guy thinks us peons haven’t already thought of that is typical liberal logic.
Bert’s just being accommodating to the muslim horde
Buddy Hackett had a night club act which would be mild by today’s standards, but which at the time was considered “blue.”
One of his standard jokes was the definition of a “gentleman” as someone who gets out of he shower to take a pee.
What a timely message! The plumber is here and he shut off the water. I had to go, so I went next door to the neighbors and told them what was going on and asked if I could use their bathroom. So, I peed in their shower. Well, I got home and the phone rang and it was the neighbor. He said he didn’t hear the toilet flush when I was over there. I told him that the Dutch pee in their showers and that he was of Dutch ancestry, so I peed in his shower. He must be more American than Dutch. I noticed a wet spot on the side of the garage.
I remember being able to change apartments using dad’s pickup in one trip.
The older I’ve gotten the more my stuff owns me.
If I had the money I’d buy a motor home and just vagabond it the rest of my life.
But I don’t so here I am, with all this stuff weighing me down.
(Come warm enough weather a lot of stuff is getting thrown out. I’m tired of looking at it all)

Like the wife and girlfriend don’t do it and are too embarrassed to admit it...
“Our aim is to keep this shower clean. Your aim will help.”
I guess Bert Wassink doesn’t know men like to pee off their back porch. Maybe he also doesn’t know men like to write words in the dirt as they pee. Men have some capabilities women don’t have.

That’s sexist!
When I’m on the throne of contemplation, it’s a ritual that when I take the paper of absorbent softness in hand, I incant: “Sorry, Sheryl Crow”, then take as much as I need, and laugh. It never seems to get old.
That’s a lot of showers for us beer drinkers .....
You said, “That’s sexist!”
No, there is comparing two different peepees. :o) Check them out if you haven't done that in your life yet. As an EMT I noticed right away they were different just as I knew that since I was a child.
Dang..........or is it dung?
The dog hates getting wet, so a shower is out of the question. We just pee in the back yard.
Ah yes, Kramer washing veggies in the shower. Classic.
Best one yet....LMAO!
Samuel Johnson defined a gentleman as someone who can play the bagpipes, but doesn’t.
I recall a study done in the U.S. several years ago. I believe that they determined about 75% of men pee’d in the shower.
I addition to peeing in the shower, some admitted to peeing in the pool, too.
Heck, I don know a man who won’t pee anywhere! As an Army BRAT, i think it was expected!
If you live in an overpopulated dessert (e.g. California or a large city in the southwest), an area subject to a severe drought, or a place where a lunatic government has hiked water rates to absurd levels, Wassink’s advice is probably worth something. If you don’t, stop worrying about “wasting water”!
So much idiocy — don’t waste water, spend more taxpayer money on public transit, . . . — is promulgated by nitwits who fancy local conditions (like CA water shortages or urban congestion in the cases mentioned) are universal so what would be sensible policy in their little corner of the world should be inflicted on the country or mankind as a whole. (One of the principles of conservatism according to Russell Kirk is respect for particularities.)
