Aim to Please

I am not going to get into the habit of taking pictures of urinals for sure, but I read about the flies in the urinals at Schiphol and how it decrease the chances of missing the pot.

I think most men will agree that aiming at something adds to the fun of answering nature's call, and I am already teaching my 3-year old son to aim properly. I think it is because men just are born with that hunter's instinct, and besides, there will always be a boy who likes to play left in every man. I wonder who was the inventor of this, but I think if the statistics could be trusted then he was quite a genius.

In Africa we also have this. The only difference here is that the insects we aim at are usually still alive....

For more obvious reasons I have never taken my camera out in a public toilet, but when I saw these urinals in Dobbies Garden centre outside Aberdeen, I had to take the chance.....
