| The Urinal Challenge |
|
 You mission is to identify correctly, based on proper urinal etiquette, the stall at which you should stand. Good luck! 1. Urinals 2 and 4 are occupied. X X 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The correct answer is 6. It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy instinctively knows this. 2. Urinal 1 is occupied. X 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The correct answer is 6. Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk of being next to someone who arrives later. 3. No urinals are occupied. 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The correct answer is 1 or 6. By choosing one of these, you are tacitly saying, "I don't want anyone next to me." 4. Urinals 2, 4 and 6 are occupied. X X X 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The correct answer is 1. You're stuck being next to at least ONE guy, so you minimize the impact and get a wall on your left. NEVER go between TWO guys if you can help it. Exceptions to this are stadium rest rooms where the herd thunders in. 5. Urinals 2, 5 and 6 are occupied. X X X 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The correct answer is 4. Believe it or not, 1 or 3 "couples" you with the guy in stall 2. And we wouldn't want THAT now, would we? This differs from question 4 in such a subtle way that the nuances cannot be explained. Suffice it to say, only we men would understand! 6. Urinals 1, 2, 5 and 6 are occupied. X X X X 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANSWER: The answer is NONE! You go to the mirror and pretend to comb your hair or straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" a bit more. If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD, for God's sake, man, use a stall with a door! ADDITIONAL RULES: NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse. I don't think I need to tell you, but absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is the highest offense. NO Singing. Period. Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again." |
