We'd have to take precautions to prevent the spread of hearing AIDS.

And not to be homo alone or march to a different drum.

I hope that doesn't apply to the restaurant.

Drum? I thought we were talking about organs on this thread....

I imagine homeless people are forced to urinate in public all the time.

That's the least of it. I once had busines at DOT hq in Washington DC. I left my room and took the Metro to L'Enfant plaza, then the escalator to DOT.

Imagine my shock on exiting into the open, the first thing I see is an old homeless woman taking a bath in the fountain.

You must have gotten the wrong notes.

[TC Rider]

LOL, I had one of those, plus the one with the butane lighter inside, talk about a burning sensation!

I'm not in favor of allowing anyone to pee wherever they want, but I can attest to the fact that if you have to urinate and you happen to be walking around in most neighborhoods in most big cities, there are very few options. I imagine homeless people are forced to urinate in public all the time.

That is a message from the property owners. They don't want you walking around there.

Oh pipe down...you're not half the whiz-kid you think you are; you'd think you put the "P" in pun, and that your cup runneth over when it comes to humor, but the truth of the matter is that your glass is only half full.

Where was the other post that had the civil liberties folks saying that this law was anti-Hispanic?

'To pee, or not to pee: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the bladder to suffer
The pains of outrageous bloating pain,
Or to take aim against a lonely bush,
And by opposing the law, to rot in jail
To die, to sleep in a wet bed no more; and by a sleep to say we end
The full bladder and the thousand trips to the bush
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us the pause that refreshes:

This law would be a good tactic at a Washington DC pro basketball game.

What happens if you have a medical problem that causes you to urinate without warning what are you supposed to do. I know it maybe unlawful to urinate in public but when you have to go you have to go. Why ruin your kidneys by stopping the flow. Just be as discrete as possible.

Any guy's out there with prostate trouble, You'll understand what I mean.

"This law would be a good tactic at a Washington DC pro basketball game."

It might keep a lot of that dribbling to a minimum.

Imagine the cheer--"Let's go Wiz, Let's go wiz...." It would be funny enough to make those with 6-packs choke on their Joe's.

I was in a traffic accident some years back -- just a two car fender bender, no big deal and nobody hurt. The other driver was a young woman who appeared to me to be either high on drugs or intoxicated. I convinced her to pull over into a gas station so we could exchange papers. She then refused to give me her papers, and a young man (I later learned it was her brother) who had been asleep in the back of her car woke up and started getting pretty aggressive. I finally gave up and called the cops. An officer showed up a few minutes later, and I explained the situation.

As he was talking to the other driver (who was still incoherent), "brother" got out of the car, whipped it out, and started to take a leak on the ground right in front of the officer. In a flash, brother and sister were in handcuffs in the back of the police car. The officer called me later to give me "sister's" information, and I could hear "brother" still hollering in the background, "When you gotta go man, you gotta go." The cop said the desk sergeant had found brother to be unamusing, and brother was being charged, among other things, with indecent exposure.
