Talking Toilet Orders Men to Sit Down

[xrtoronto]

Saw this in the morning news...too funny!

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor who developed a gadget that berates men if they try to use the toilet standing up has sold more than 1.6 million devices, his business manager said on Tuesday.

German women fed up with a man with a poor aim can turn to the ghost-shaped gadget, which lurks under the toilet rim and, if the seat is lifted, declares in a stern female tone:

"Hello, what are you up to then? Put the seat back down right away, you are definitely not to pee standing up ... you will make a right mess..."

Alex Benkhardt, 46, invented the "WC Ghost" and its creators are in negotiations to market it in Britain, Canada and Italy.

Coincidently, the number of divorces in Germany increased by 1.2 million.

My remedy would be to not lift up the seat, i usually  have a good aim

[AKIron]

Men of the world, let us unite in exerting our manhood and pee standing up. Just don't forget to put the seat down after.

Ask Capt Apathy to tell you how he explained the whole toilet seat thing to his wife.  It was brilliant.

[Tarmac]

Aim the turret, not the whole battleship.

Any man that sits to piss should have his tecticles forcefully removed.  End of subject.  (unless your one of those hermaphrodites or a cancer survivor, then go ahead and sit...you earned it).

[capt. apathy]

here it is Curval,


I won that particular battle.

basicly it went something like this.

"so if I leave the seat up, and you go into the bathroom sit down, and fall in the bowl, thats my fault?"

"yes"

"but you didn't check, the seat position before you sat down"

"it should already be down"

"so it's the responsability of the last person to use it to insure proper positioning? not the person who is getting ready to use it"

"right"

"so if you leave the seat down and our son pisses all over it, then it's your own fault if you come back and sit on a pissy seat"

"no, it would be his fault because he should lift it before he pisses"

"no, you said it was the last persons responsability, you should have put it in the up position so it would be ready for him"

"how would I know a guy would be next to use it?"

"how would I know a girl would be next to use it?"

"that's different"

"how?"

silence

me "and one other thing, if someone closes the lid before you use it, you're cleaning up that mess, the female side of this argument is stupid, take responsability for yourself and check before you sit"

not only did I win the argument, but just to mess with the minds of other women, she leaves the seat up in the ladies room in public restrooms.

Personaly... I prefer the appearance of a toilet that has the lid closed. I raise the lid and the seat, do my business, if I make a mess I clean it then lower the seat and close the lid. If I lived by myself that is the way it would be. Now... all that said, too many women leave the seat down, they do make a mess at times, don't clean it, and rarely close the lid. If they want the seat down they should also close the lid (if available).  That is my 2 cents worth.

A fine argument also.
