But is it strawberry flavoured?!
Due to budget cuts at the BBC, this specialised Dalek is currently serving as a urinal.
In this marvellous modern age, toilets can cater for even the most obscure fetishes.
This urinal is for use in centrifuges.
The weaker sex need no longer feel left out of the toilet revolution.
Eeek!
And now for some quotes.
The plastic mesh guard called a kivah is designed to prevent solid objects (such as cigarette butts, feces, or paper) from being flushed and possibly causing a plumbing stoppage.
I'm glad someone went to the trouble of naming it. Saves on confused plumbers.
Often, one or two of the urinals, typically at one end of a long row of urinals, will be mounted lower than the others, for use by short people, often boys, who can't reach the urinals that are meant for teenage boys and men. These shorter urinals also facilitate use by individuals in wheelchairs
What?! How?
Once used exclusively in commercial or institutional washrooms, urinals for private home installation are now available.
Again, what?! And why?
Ernest Hemingway converted a urinal from Sloppy Joe's bar into a water fountain for his cats.
No more need really be said.
- Gabriel Chevallier's 1934 satirical novel Clochemerle deals with the ramifications over plans to install a new urinal in a French village.
I'm sure it's fascinating.
Comment from Tipster:
ReplyDeleteSome years ago, while one of those international soccer tournaments we seem to be constantly plagued with was on, I was passing through Schipol airport. The urinals had special plastic trays for catching cigrattes (and other objects not intended for the fluid drain) installed for the occasion. It consisted of a circular piece of plastic held in the air above the drain, with a football printed on it, so you could use your urine targeting as a substitute for your soccer prowess. I have sought an image many times on the Internet, but without success.
