Two Indians were standing next to a river taking a piss.

The first Indian said, “Water’s cold”.

The other one said, “Deep too”....

As someone said about a related study long ago, no subject is too great or too piddling for scientific research.

I think the best way is to use enfilade fire. The Germans did this in WWI. You shoot high and let it drop in on the target. I usually stand about eight or ten feet back and enfilade it. Worked fine until that guy in the Atlanta airport wasn’t paying attention and walked through my field of fire.

I dont think the problem is splash, it is drips that land on the floor and bowl from standing too far away. At work it is not unusual to have yellow drops on the floor under the urinal. In order not to step in them people stand farther away and that just makes the problem worse. Just stand closer to the bowl/urinal and the problem is solved.

For some of us it is not necessary to stand close.

Cornell did a major study on bathrooms in the 1960s and nothing changed, although they called for a number of changes, lowering the toilet, installing urinals in all bathrooms were two of the major changes.

PC dominates American bathrooms, not only in the home, but in commercial baths, for instance those urinals that are down below your knees and the toilet that is so high, that is a stupid idea, but the government makes them do it.

“For some of us it is not necessary to stand close.”

Which makes our wives very happy.

That used to be called the “Motorman’s Friend”. Back in the day when cities had streetcars and work rules didn’t provide for breaks, the motorman on a streetcar was stuck in his seat for his entire shift.

The ‘motorman’s friend’ was hidden in a pants leg and all was well.

What about taking a wide stance. As per the Senator. :)

This a time they should reach across the aisle.
