I used to have quite impressive bladder volume control. Now I can’t even pass a residual catheterisation test.

Sorry, can’t tell you. Peer to peer threads get locked.

I’m what you’d call a “fire hose on two feet”. A liter+ empied in less than fifteen seconds (Look, I was driving through the middle of Ogden, Utah and couldn’t find a john. I had to go in an empty water bottle, empty _that_ and continue on. Let’s just say that was a first for me.)

[/TMI]

I make the Mississippi River look like mere snow runoff. But then, you know what they say about guys who can do that: they have big feet.

:eek: Wow.

Now I have to go. I’m very suggestible.

Oh yeah?

I can unload a full bladder in 1.6 seconds.

But I don’t do it because it tends to chip the porcelain.

As far as height goes…

I had to make a pitstop on a road trip once back in the late 60s and pulled into a trucker hangout. The men’s john was VILE! Apparently, it was the thing to do to try to piss as high as possible up the wall before you aimed at the urinal. If you set a new “record”, you wrote your name next to the watermark.

About 9 feet up the wall was a solo watermark. The name next to it was Michael Dunn 😃

[Michael Dunn](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242692/) played Dr. Miguelito Loveless on “The Wild, Wild West” TV show. He was a dwarf.
