San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 40 Keywords: arc,splatter,puddles Doggone it, I'm sick of those lousy urinals we (guys) put up with!!!! I know this is sort of flameish, and sort of net.general because of all the usefull info you'll gleam from it, but bizarre seems to be the place for the truly fresh ideas (except for the stupid (re:official animal or re:bizarre signs,names,etc)^99 articles). O.K., here's the scoop. You're programming like a mad dog, and drinking coffee at a rate that gives Juan Valdez a hernia from picking all those beans when suddenly.......I GOTTA GO!!!! (at this point you: squirm,jive,run in place,turn yellow) and head to the bathroom. * T h e P r o b l e m * Those stupid Crown Royal urinals (especially the long, tall ones) seem to have been designed with one purpose in mind.....splattering the maximum amount of caffinated urine on the maximum surface area of the urinator........ They think they're so smart, don't they.................WEll A-HaHAHAHAHAHA I figured 'em out. * S o l u t i o n * It's all in the wrist. What you need to do is stand about 3-4' back and use about a 68-73.5 degree arc. Hit the back of the urinal (about 2/3rds of the way down) and the leg wetting spray will be well reduced. Another good reason for this solution is that if there are others present, and your trajectory is bad, the other people are so busy looking in their own urinals (why, I dunno....moron peep show?) that as you spray them they will probably just attribute the present drenched condition as being caused by the old-self-applied-leg wetter that they've corraled themselves to. Work on it, and we'll see you at the John, A nice dry programmer who really needs to go...bad...honest.. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
