"mens room"

I'm more upset by the numbers of people who fail to wash their hands after doing their business. I'm retired now, but at work I used to visibly flinch when offered a treat by some guy I know who didn't wash his hands after visiting the rest room.

I’m surprised that no one has come up with the easiest solution, which is to have the guys piss in the sink.

What’s the difference between “shanty Irish”, and “lace curtain Irish”?

Ans. The “lace curtain Irish” move the dishes before they piss in the sink.

LOL! We are truly amongst FRiends here, to be sharing this information. FWIW, I envy my husband his ability to go in an empty bottle in an emergency!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Soldier and Sailor leaving Head and Soldier is washing hands and the Sailor adjusts his White Hat and strolls towards the door.
“In the Army they told us to make sure we washed our hands after taking a ‘P’”
“In the Navy they told NOT ‘P’ on our hands”.

Always leave seat UP so the next person knows at least YOU didn’t ‘P’ on the seat.

For a while used to have to sit to ‘P’ as I was told not to lift anything heavy.

Put a target in the bowl such as a ‘fly’, ‘bug’ or picture of someone (BO, Jane Fonda etc) and notice how the aim improves...

I saw a T-shirt at Wal-Mart that said:

COOL STORY, BABE.
Now go make me a sandwich.

Pity they didn’t have one in my size.

some of the world's most fierce peoples -- Vikings -- are now found trying to further emasculate men through legislation.

How is sitting to urinate emasculating? Just curious on your thoughts.

German and Japanese men sit to piss. Perhaps there is a connection..


My German Brother-in-Law had a urinal installed in his bathroom (in addition to the commode).

They’re losers, that’s why. They should ask themselves what their grandfathers would have done. It would be a better world if Japanese and German men were real men again ... umm, without the warlike tendencies.

Be proud, When you’re a man the whole world is your urinal.

I spent a couple of weeks in Cork, Ireland for business a few years back. We visited a great many pubs each evening.

There was one very old (generations) very small pub in Cork City. It was all of 12 feet wide and 50 feet long from front door to back.

There was a matronly woman tending bar that night. After a while, I asked her where the men's room was. She point to the back door and said, "Go to da back door, open it and step out. Da "men's room" is anywhere from there to Dublin."

Depends on what your definition of a “man” is. Oh, and of course what the meaning of “is” is as well (though I suppose that should go without saying these days).

I think I found it.

"I drove to the Rhine River and went across on the pontoon bridge. I stopped in the middle to take a piss and then picked up some dirt on the far side in emulation of William the Conqueror." General George S. Patton, March 1945

Instead, you urinated on a wall designed for that purpose.

I'm told by locals that this was the original use for the Blarney Stone for troops standing watch at the top of Blarney Castle in County Cork.

Yuck.

"men are pigs and need to learn to clean up after themselves"

Sweetheart, I was tempted to say that "women smell and need to fumigate after themselves" in reply to your worthless comment but I guess I won't.

In case you're wondering what I mean, recall that joke about what the blind man said when he passed by the fish market.

Leave the toilet seat up, some British doctors now say. The reason: a rising trend for heavy wooden and ornamental toilet seats to fall down onto the penises of unsuspecting (and just potty-trained) toddlers.

“This is total bullsh**,”

Decline of western civilization indeed. I understand most people talk like street thugs these days, but to do it in a news interview: classless.

I worked in a few grocery stores as a teen. I had to clean the restrooms many times. The women’s restrooms are FAR nastier than the men’s.

I taught my boy to pee standing before he could really reach the toilet. He had to get on his tip toes. I’m raising a man, not a boy.
