According to a self-proclaimed genius Urologist from England, you've been pissing wrong your whole life...
Gerald Collins, a consultant urological surgeon at Alexandra Hospital in Cheshire, England, made the claim in an interview with the Telegraph on Friday, following a YouGov report about male urination practices.
The data analytics firm surveyed more than 7,000 men from 13 countries across the globe, finding a majority usually stay standing while emptying their bladders.
The survey did uncover some surprising cultural differences, with 40% of German men saying they sit down to pee “every time,” in comparison with just 10% of American men. And, according to Collins, it’s the Germans who have the right idea.
“Sitting is probably the most efficient way of doing it,” the doctor declared, explaining that the muscles in the pelvis and the spine are completely relaxed in that position, making it easier to complete the peeing process.
The urologist added that it’s especially easier for older men to sit down to urinate, given that benign prostatic hyperplasia becomes increasingly common in advanced age. The condition, which affects 80% of men 80 and older, occurs when the prostate gland and surrounding tissue expands, obstructing the urethra.

Speaking of, my wife has a favorite phrase she uses to describe any act of futility.
She says 'It's like pissing in the ocean and hoping the fish will feel it.' Not bad for an old dame, huh?

Target has lost $9 billion in market value since angry social media users
called for a boycott of the Minneapolis-based retailer over its rollout of the “PRIDE” collection featuring LGBTQ-friendly clothing for children. A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.93 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.
At the end of trading on Friday, however, shares of the company were trading off another 2% at $138.93 - capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion. That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.
Target said on Tuesday it was removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays.

Juss' sayin' - I'd have a lot more brain cells to work with...
An assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia Irving Medical Center, is one of many experts raising serious concerns about the increasing marijuana use by adolescents and young adults. And the evidence is growing of marijuana’s association with psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, especially in young men.
New research published this month, involving millions of people worldwide over decades, is adding to worries that heavy use of high-potency cannabis and legalization of recreational weed in many U.S. states could exacerbate the nation's mental health crisis in young adults.

A popular beach in Chicago closed down temporarily just hours after it opened for summer due to gunfire Friday. Police said that between 80 and 100 teenagers were gathering at the North Avenue Beach around 1:26 p.m., when a fight broke out, resulting in one person pulling out a gun and firing shots. A juvenile was taken into custody and no one was injured, officials said. The shooting happened hours after the city opened 22 beaches for summer.
There are problems in this city that may simply have no remedy. It's been too violent, too crime ridden, too out of control for so long that nothing short of Marshall Law would cure it's ills. Too many illegal guns on the street, too many young thug punks with nothing to live for, so dying doesn't mean shit to 'em. Sad.

If you're into short term capital gains, now would be a good time to buy target stock. Dump it in a week when it bounces.
ReplyDeleteThe sitzpinklers are fulla urine amd usually have much greater post-urination leakage; it's far easier to completely empty the male bladder when standing.
ReplyDeleteThis is something any male can try at home: sit while urinating, empty your bladder as well as you can.
Then, immediately after, stand and try to urinate again. The average male can (and usually does) urinate at least two ounces more. I've measured.
They knew this about marijuana 50 years ago. They knew it 100 years ago. Especially with hash users.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, hash 50 years ago or 100 years ago wasn't as strong as the current marijuana being smoked, due mostly to the concentration of THC in the buds.
It's martial (meaning military) law. I don't mean to be a crank, but the nuns had ways of making things stick.
