Okay, now to be serious. I used to have this same problem. Here is what you need to do. When you are done peeing, use your middle finger to reach about a centimeter behind the scrotum and push up. You can kind of feel a tube like structure there. I think it’s the urinary tract, but don’t quote me. You’ll be amazed how much more pee you can get to squirt out. So sit back, have a few beers, and let me know how it turns out. Looks like USCDiver beat me to it. And with better info too. ---

I sometimes have this problem. Heck, I’ve had to go take a seat to let my pants dry sometimes. Usually wearing boxers compounds the problem as the pee can drop out and leave the trail down the pant leg. Sometimes, if I was worried about it. I would wrap my pecker in a a little tp, leave it and there and go back to my desk. Later, I had an office, I could remove it, the tp, and throw in the trash can. ---

This is why I don’t use urinals. Well, this and the time when I was in elementary school and someone kicked me into one while I was peeing. But seriously, this is easy. Just go in the stall and squeeze that bad boy into some toilet paper. ---

[QUOTE=USCDiver] I’ve mentioned this in a thread before and **JayRx1981** mentions above. The [male urethra](http://catalog.nucleusinc.com/enlargeexhibit.php?ID=5498) is shaped like a [P-trap](http://www.curbly.com/uploads/photos/0000/0001/0912/nice_ptrap_large.jpg). [/QUOTE] Heh.

I’ve actually thought about posting about that problem too. I can stand there and shake and squeeze, but I still get a wayward drop when I walk away. **USCDiver** , your link explains a lot. Probably the act of walking away drains the little bit in the U-shaped section. The weird thing is I swear this didn’t start happening until I was in my 20’s. ---

I’ll try the scrotum trick next time and see how it works. And to think I held off on posting this because I didn’t think anyone would think I was serious, let alone have the same issue as well as solutions 🙂 ---

One of my friends from school days, whom we’ll call “Spot” seemed to have this problem. Unfortunately, we were never really nice to him about his little problem, and would give him a really hard time. ---

I usually slam mine hard against the toilet seat a few times and if that doesn’t work I stop the end with either a bulldog clip or wind a rubber band around my todger several times. Go on, just picture it 😛 ---

I’ve noticed that certain muscles tend to operate when going. When you are finished and walk away, those muscles tend to relax, allowing that last bit to flow out. That’s when the problem occurs. So, if you just learn to relax everything just before you walk away, that last drop will escape before you walk away.
