Context: When your project deadline gets pushed back, giving you more time, it's called getting an extension. So I'm in the men's room at work, and one of the program managers comes in, and goes to a urinal. Another guy comes in and goes to the urinal next to him, unzips, and says "Hey, George! I see you got an extension!"
I don't think George is the only one either. They have been doing a lot of renovations in some of the restrooms where I work, and there is a lot of new business construction (stores, restaurants) in my town too. So I'm noticing that the urinals are being mounted on the walls closer and closer to the restroom floor! I understand young boys are short, thus closer to the floor is better. But when all the urinals are ten inches off the floor it makes you think! Are the building owners concerned that some well endowed fellow might "bruise the beef" by hitting the bottom of the urinal? Do the building owners have a sick sense of humor and know that the "splash effect" is exponentially affected by how far the stream falls? Or is a secret organization of diabolical "super midgets" hiding among us in plain sight among the general population?
When I was a kid working in a machine shop, there was an old fella (probably younger than I am now!!) who stood inside the rest room door and pretended to be peeing in the urinal that we knew was three feet to the right of the door. He yell "OOO that porcelain is cold!" The Greatest Generation.
