In September, the headmistress of the Dvergsnes primary school in Kristiansand, Norway, proposed that boys be taught to urinate while seated, in order to reduce splashing and mistargeting, which burden the cleaning staff

I don't think they need to be taught to pee sitting down. As much as the lady would like us to think so, peeing sitting down is not that hard to do. My kids could pee while lying on their backs (for diaper change) when they were babies. I didn't have to teach them that amazing skill, either. (It's amazing how quickly they learn that that is funny! I can remember my oldest son at only a few months peeing toward the ceiling and then giggling. I guess the look on the parents' face must be the fun part.)

I think she means 'train' them.

We should also train male dogs to squat? My neutered dog actually does that anyway.

From the ladies room of a place I used to work at...

If you sprinkle, when you tinkle, Be a sweetie, and wipe the seatie.

Somebody crossstitched that and framed it. Honest.

I do sit to pee when I have to go in the middle of the night. It beats turning on the light and being blinded. And it prevents nagging when the wife finds that I missed and went on the floor.

Nothing like plopping down on that cold porcelain to rouse you from your slumber, hmmm?

I've taken `technicolor yawns' in some of Tijuana's finest facilities, and agree--you are absolutely correct:
`Be like Dad, not like sis,
raise the lid b-4 you piss.'

My friend's grandparents did the same thing. One night, the grandfather got up in the middle of the night and without turning on the lights in pitch black, went to the toilet. He got in position and sat down... and then, apparently the next thing one could hear was two screams... he had sat down on his wife who had gotten there a few minutes before!

try keeping one eye closed. the open eye sees in the light. the closed one stays accustomed to the dark.

It makes navigating back to bed interesting until you get used to the half-blind feeling, but othersie works in exemplary fashion.

There are some seats with openings at the front.

I always assumed that the openings were there to prevent liberals from choking while drinking.

My favorite urinal was the one they had at either Massilon or Canton McKinley High in Ohio. It was a concrete block wall about 40 feet long and the floor had a trough formed into it. No stations, no porcelain, no paint. Stand where you want and fire at the wall. At half-time that trough was like the Snake River.

Oh, that might have been a bad analogy.

This is a big deal. Some women don't understand this. My wife tried making my young son pee sitting down because he had little hose control. I explained to her that part of being a man is the ability to pee standing up. I met her half-way and promised to imart my fatherly wisdom to my son by showing him how to properly pee standing up without making a mess.

Let me get this straight...you're suggesting that I "have a seat" in a public restroom when I don't need to?


No, because if you are in a store you are patronizing, or a public building whose janitor you pay in your taxes, then, you are welcome to spray away, as you have paid for the privilege. But if a guest in someone's home, then the thoughtful thing (unless a urinal is provided) is to have a seat.

My grandparents didn't have a bathroom until I was about 12 (1973) The men used to go off the back porch.

Grandma always kept a chamberpot in the bedroom at night, right up until she passed away in 1991.

The question is, did you teach your young son to lift the seat or to try to aim through it?

You know those carpet covers for the toilet lid? I hate them. If you have one of them installed, the seat won't stay up unless it is held. And what man can pee using only one hand? And wives get mad when there are sprinkles on the seat.

I bought my wife a high gloss oak seat and lid, not she doesn't want to cover it up.
