Why Not Start At the Potty?

I do believe the urinal is a crafty and intelligent invention. The convenience it offers for men is undeniable.

HOWEVER!

Lately, and when I say "lately" what I really mean is "over the past year or two," I have noticed a disturbing trend surrounding the use of this gold standard of relieving oneself.

For some reason, every where I go, whether it be Starbucks or the most elegant restaurant one can find, the urinals have a pool of pee at the base just right where one should be standing! Guys, what is up? Was there a recent revolt on the use of the urinal that I was not counted in on? All I know is that it is getting worse and worse. People just don't bother anymore. People seem to think that being considerate of the next urinal user is trite or trivial.

I say, "ENOUGH!" Men, learn to aim. Men, learn to keep the floor of this precious and ingenious invention clean and hazard free for the next chum who passes through. Men, learn that as you age, an extra dribble is normal, just let it fly where it belongs!

I believe we, as a collective male group, can make a difference in this world. Why not start at the potty?
