Even with marksman aim there's splashing. For males the neatest
method is one of those plastic hand held hospital urinals... I keep
one in my car and another at my office phone because occasionally I'm
put on hold and that silly elevator music makes me need to pee and I
never know how long I'll be kept on hold and I refuse to put peeing on
hold for an indeterminate time. Don't you just hate when someone
phones and then needs to put you on hold while they look up your file,
WTF can't they have your file in front of them before they phone? duh
Happened just an hour ago when the mail order pharmacy called, I was
on hold a full ten minutes before she got back to me to say that their
computer was slow. But anyway those plastic urinals come in very
handy, especially when driving on the Interstate and the next rest
stop could be more than fifty miles. In some of those western states
it could be 100 miles between rest stops, even further when driving
across Canada, and sometimes the door is locked and there's a sign
"Out Of Order".
