[But trying to pee out of one for a drug test…not so much.](http://olympics.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=7608764)

S’pose the nice people over at The Whizzinator are thanking Tom for all the press?  
And I’d like to thank the nice folks at Reuters for not accompanying this article with visual aids…

You’d think they’d have the technology to overcome the “cold pee” drawback, wouldn’t you? Mind, having a heating element that near the family jewels might be askin’ a bit much …

“Whizzinator”. Heh. The name makes me giggle. 🙂

According to that article, Sizemore is “an expectant father.”

I bet from time to time he wonders, “Is this really my baby, or could it be the Whizzinator’s?”

Since I’m a girl, that hadn’t occurred to me, but now that you mention it…I wonder!

I had to take a drug test once for a job, and there was someone in the room to make sure I didn’t cheat, but they sure didn’t _watch_. Guys, can you even pee at all with someone watching??

I think he was caught because of a temperature irregularity, which led to a “drop your pants, sir.”😃

Take home message: Leave the fake penis at home.

That’ll teach him to cram for the whiz quiz.

I am still giggling over the fact that a news article about a fake penis involves a man named “Sizemore.”

Easily. At least, I can. Many guys seem to have a problem with urinating around other people (leading to the “leave one urinal between two guys” rule). I find this incredibly stupid.

Fake penis? No thanks. I’m kinda used to this here real one.

Oh, tell me - I bet they fought over who got to write it in the newsroom, and I’m sure the cartoonist was a close second. I was waiting for a quote from the judge that Tom’s excuses were ‘a little hard to swallow.’

And I thought the ‘empty urinal between 2 guys’ rule was so that ya’ll wouldn’t be tempted to compare your goods? I can assure you that were mores reversed, this is one woman who would NOT be checking out the size of someone else’s whatnot.

My job depends on being able to pee while being watched. That means drinking water until I’m about ready to burst, squirting out a sample while making small talk (it helps for me), and then spending the next two hours peeing every 15 minutes.

One more reason I never want to be an NCO: Those guys occaisonally have to _watch_ someone else pee. Two more years of this crap…

You have a very interesting job. 😕
