Okay!.............

Newspapers are a prime candidate for biodegrading. So what they're really saying is, we should all urinate on The Telegraph.

I would suggest they instead urinate on their local Council bureaucrats. It would benefit the gardens even more when they were ploughed in, and they'd probably love it, too. Being so obsesed with policing peoples' wheelie bins, they are just sick enough to enjoy it.

LOL!

My roses are right by the fence; my neighbors on that side already irritated with me, maybe because I take the laundry out (to the laundry room in the detached garage) in my underwear all the time. We have those chain link fences that are about 4 feet high, and do nothing to hide my pale, pale booty.

So yeah, I pee in a cup and dump it, remembering always to dilute.

Out here in the, it is standard practice lol

The left would love nothing more than a return to the feudal times. That’s exactly where they are pushing our country.

Male urine is better than female urine because it is slightly less acidic.

I had no idea that urine was discriminatory.

[Senator_Blutarski]

How about night soil? There’s a tradition that was tossed in error, too ...//rolling eyes.

When was it tossed? Have you ever wondered what they do with the stuff they pump out of septic tanks? Enjoy those farm fresh vegetables!

[Portnoy]

Humanity is one step closer to moving back to the caves....

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Finally an excuse for my nocturnal sojourns into the back yard should the neighbors get nosy.

“What the h@ll are you looking at, I’m composing here!”

[P8riot]

I and my 7yr old son already do. Gotta get a thunder jug (chamber pot) for the wife to contribute.

[RebelTXRose]

“What about getting caught for ‘indecent exposure’? ;-)”

I was thinking of winter and frostbite...LOL

Men should urinate outside on their compost heaps to help fertilise their gardens and save on flushing the lavatory, the National Trust has urged.

So many of environmentalism's recommendations involve abandoning basic sanitation measures instituted to prevent the spread of disease. Urinate outside, don't flush when you urinate inside, don't shower frequently, don't wash your clothes so often, use a single square when wiping, etc. Modern sanitation has largely eliminated diseases which plagued humanity like dysentery and typhoid fever - and environmentalists want to discard that to feel better about the planet.

One man's "compost pile" is another man's constitution.

“Male urine is better than female urine because it is slightly less acidic.”

I would have thought that urine would retard the composting process because of this rather than advance it.

[ansel12]

I don’t know if they still do it but the army used to collect our urine in the basic training field bathrooms.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

By Jove, I think I need to tap a kidney, back in a moment Old Chap!

[Hawthorn]

>> this doesn’t mention anything about sanitation or health risks <<

Urine may stink, to be sure. But it is normally sterile. The military even teaches that in an emergency, it can be used to clean wounds.

(Seriously!)

[Nam Vet]

Great idea !!! ...... Then they can arrest you for indecent exposure and label you some kind of pervert.
