Between this and the thread about food service workers wearing gloves, I think it’s time to officially declare that we have become a nation of OCD pussies.
So, is the cost of this idiotic idea going to come out of this knucklehead’s salary, or what?
Human urine is (as far as I recall) relatively sterile.
This guy is a total idiot.
What should teach you not to leave your computer unlocked and logged in to a message board can be summarized in two words: Hal. Sheep.
It should. This decision cost $32,000. That’s somebody’s salary for a year that just went down the drain.
But you guys, what if he had the gay. The *entire city of Portland *might have caught it!
I’d love to see this tried this with our local reservior: 25 Billion gallons.
Kinda depands on how deep the resevoir is… Deep enough, you could cover it with a shower cap. 
This story just has me shaking my head, for many reasons. Here’s a picture of Glenmore Reservoir, which supplies the drinking water for a city of over a million people. Note the boats on it. If you went to the water management folk here complaining that someone peed in the water, they’d probably gently escort you back out the door. There is NO way that Portland doesn’t treat its drinking water before it heads out into city pipes, just like we do. There’s also the downstream factor; everyone’s downstream from some other city’s waste management programme. That was just one big, honking waste of water.
Ribbed for her pleasure?
I have an image of Robert Wagner clearing his throat at Dr. Evil as I read this
Well, if a MARRIED guy had peed in the reservoir, that would have been okey-dokey…
Look, just because he got permission beforehand…
And on the next episode of Portlandia…
Too late.
This made me curious, so I had to look it up. Here in Boston, our primary reservoir, the Quabbin, holds 412 Billion gallons when full. And apparently, the water is not filtered, so I’ve probably drunk whole molecules of piss before.
I did. Most of them pee in the water, too.
I was stung by a jellyfish once, and someone emptied a reservoir on me.
Wouldn’t that pee-water be a good homeopathic remedy for something?
Seriously, at that dilotion level, would you stand any risk?
