Most men don't realize how they **** all over the floor, all over the
toilet and all over the wall with their splatter unless they live alone and clean their own bathrooms. Besides sitting down, is there a way to reduce/stop splatter? -- LSMFT If I wasn't me I wouldn't like me either.......... |

Not convenient enough? Wait, how is this a home repair issue? |

Besides sitting down, is there a way to reduce/stop splatter? (apologies in advance to readers with delicate sensitivities...) Does the phrase 'skin it and wring it' ring a bell? With a nym like yours, you must have gone through short-arm inspection at some point. The end getting gummed up causes most of the oopsies- a nice round hole makes a cleaner stream. Oh, and turning the light on helps, even if it makes it harder to get back to sleep. If you are really curious, find a real library and read Alexander Kira's definitive work, 'The Bathroom', that actually studied such things. He worked for Calspan when he wrote the first edition, but I think he did the revised versions on his own. (It realy freaked out my 8th grade English teacher, when I did a diorama of an outhouse beside some trees as my 'multi-media' book report on it, with a couple 3x5 cards of text attached to it. Hey, this was pre-computer era. Got an A on it, though.) -- aem sends... |

It is entirely PC correct for the distaff side to **** and moan about our shortcomings (no pun intended), as that is why God gave them two sets of lips. It is entirely not right to point out anything that may be similarly disgusting, revolting, or disease carrying about them. I sincerely hope this helps. But I doubt it. INCOMING! Steve |

If one of us was in dire need to go, the rest of the boys had to wait in line without letting the door close so we got our moneys worth. In one store it was known that the bathrooms where always kept very clean, there we were told to go under the door. Gawd that sounds gross now, even with clean floors. |

Besides sitting down, is there a way to reduce/stop splatter? Several ways: 1. Use the sink. 2. Install an urinal. 3. Have a short length of hose available (B-17 pilots called it a 'relief tube'). 4. Get the female of the house to do the aiming. But it's not only males that have the problem: Here's a treatise for women on how to pee standing. Until they achieve mastery of the technique, they can also expect splatters. Fortunately, women have more practice at urination than men. http://web.archive.org/web/200212050.../standing.html |
