Two of the most common indications of nervousness are trembling hands and a need to urinate. It's hardly surprising, then, that the floors of men's airport toilets are soaked with piss: most of the gents who use the facilities are at least a little concerned at the prospect of their upcoming flight.
Until recently, the lavatories at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport were no exception, as nervous flyers emptied their bladders everywhere except in the urinals. However after a debate among airport staff, Schiphol hit upon a possible solution.
The cleaners began painting flies on the inside of urinals, the theory being that men would always aim for the little 'fellas' (flies) in an attempt to piss them down the drain. And it seems to have worked. With 700 fake flies now resident in the airport's conveniences, the level of splashing has been reduced by 80%, and the toilet manufacturers are now producing a line of 'bogs' (toilets) complete with pre-painted flies.
"There is something about male psychology that makes men aim for targets when they pee - if there's something on the urinal, they will always try to blast it off," explains Schiphol's Marianne De Bie.
Bawdy, Randy, etc...is this true? When you pee do you really try to drown a fly or something like that? Or are you sissy men who pee sitting down? I just can't believe that a man couldn't hold it still enough not to piss all over the floor! Hell, I just flew this weekend and didn't shake so hard that I fell off the pot!
Haha..that is weird. The only times I've ever had trouble with aim was when hammered. Even then you can steady yourself with a hand against the wall or something. If you have balance, it shouldn't be a problem...unless you have morning wood and it's pointed towards the ceiling. Then you have to try standing on your head to pee downwards.
But yes, it's true...if there's a target, we'll aim for it.
What I find appalling is the number of men who don't wash their hands after using restrooms.

lol, you know in Australia we just teach the kids not to piss on their hands
One of the gals at work told me when she was teaching her son to pee in the potty she would throw in some Cherrios and tell him to sink 'em! Geez you male type people are strange!
Interesting... But it makes sense... Think about it: If I told you to throw balls randomly (no pun intended here) at a five foot range, it would be annoying. If I put targets in the same range, it would be easier, more enjoyable, whatever.

Oh, I'd pee on you long before you had all the targets set up.

TMI from both of you! Thanks!
I got a visual of bawdy's though and I have to say it made me giggle! What would women do to greet eachother then??? I can only imagine the reply I'm going to get on this one! If anyone references picking up a six pack I'll hit 'em with a board!

Six pack? heh
Actually, we don't care how you greet each other as long as you have dinner on the table in time.

Me either, I did some research awhile back thinking I could figure it out, but NO ONE says why they like it, its more just they like it. and Ewwww is all I could think of we had a couple who was into it bring film in for developing and really I just didnt get it. those were NOT some pretty photo's!!
I guess if you were chilly it would help warm you up? heh. But I'll opt for a sweater instead, thanks. That's a little more intimate than I want to get with anyone. Put this one in the turn off category.
Yeah, I heard that about jellyfish, but it's not something you'd look forward to. And who's the first person to discover it was the only thing to soothe the pain?

I think she probably meant you, but it was a Freudian slip because you make her randy. But I'd like to hear who she was referring to myself. Is duffy the only other guy here? I think so.
My username is bawdy, so it's safe to say I am! I think she probably meant you, but it was a Freudian slip because you make her randy. But I'd like to hear who she was referring to myself. Is duffy the only other guy here? I think so.
I've been known to have that affect on women!!!

OMG!! I cannot believe I did that! A thousand I'm sorry's Rusty! Looking at the calendar I realize I had flown home the day before from my grandfathers funeral and I know my ass was jet lagged and exhausted for days after....so that's my crappy excuse and I'm sticking to it!
