I’m a chick, & I must say I’ve never had a problem with pissing outside. In fact, when I have been drinking I am very fond of pissing on cars that look like they belong to yuppies. I am particularly proud of having once pissed on a very snooty boutique. I don’t understand why this is diffcult. Does anyone have any statistics on diseases caught from sitting on toilet seats? I think the numbers are small to non-existent. You know, you’re actually more likely to get sick from hovering, since the tension leads to incomplete emptying of the bladder, which is an excellent means of acquiring a urinary tract infection. ---
