Gotta go? Relief is in sight, literally…

This is a new outdoor urinal being used in China, and it seems like one tiny step up from having nothing at all. No fancy frills like doors, which are for sissies. Just a thin band between you and the rest of the world.
Would you use one of these? It’s easy to say no, but after a big lunch with three cups of tea and a couple of Tsingtao beers in you, your priorities may change. Especially if the alternative is that bar where the urinal was recently stolen for a souvenir.
Let us know what you think of these things via Post a Comment, before they show up in a city near you.

Incredible economical device!. Better this than a wall.
I guess that’s better than the walking urinal / potty jacket thing that guy on American Inventor tried to promote. But only slightly.
Hey! When you gotta go, you gotta go.

I guess they don’t get gun shy
Mind your queues and Pee!
Perfect for those that dont wash their hands.
Lawsuit impending from those that urinate with their pants around their ankles.

You do NOT want to see the ladies’ version.
Fine g’morrow to you as well, Father O’Malley.
Cellophane over the aperture. What a classic!
Oops! I’m a pint or two low. Better find a pub and get a refill.

It’s kind of like riding in the back of a pickup. There’s no way to do it and look cool.
