New Mexico orders 500 talking urinal cakes



SANTA FE, N.M. - New Mexico is taking its fight against drunken driving to
men's restrooms around the state. The state has ordered 500 talking urinal
cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant
patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

"Hey there, big guy. Having a few drinks?" a female voice says a few seconds
after an approaching male sets off a motion sensor in the device. "It's time to
call a cab or ask a sober friend for a ride home."

Whatcha ya gonna do with the hundreds that prefer the fire hydrant. I guess if they think something that holds urine. for How many days, is sanitary.

The Today show this morning said that 1/2 of them have been stolen! Can't imagine picking one out of the urinal and hiding it while escaping with it. Nothing is safe!

Now just why do you think someone would do that.

Is Nothing Sacred? Can't a man even take a pee in private? I wonder, do they have the same thing in the ladies room? Not, drinking, just ranting.

Why the hell do they call it "CAKE?". Wouldn't urinal deoderant suffice?

Other informal terms include "urinal mint", "urinal cake,"
"toilet lolly" (Australian),
"urinal puck" or "trough lolly" (chiefly British).

The novelty cakes are from time to time manufactured with bull's eyes or
pop-culture villains pictured upon them. There is an advertising or
promotional talking block called Wizmark, including an "Interactive Urinal
Communicator" providing an auto activated 15 second pre-recorded audio
message or flashing lights from inside the urinal.

First, if I don't listen to my wife, they expect me to listen to a pee pill?

Second, if I ever encounter one of these things, know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna PEE on it!!!

What about the drunk women! I feel like I am being discriminated against. Oh well...I'll get over it someday!!

I would like to get them (without urinal diving) and change the messages...."Hey does that come in a Adult Size"...."I hope you're rich"..."Don't eat me"...etc...

What would your big white mint say?

I think your pee is the motion these little pucks are looking for to spout off.
So Ira, if you meet uP with one of these intrusive units residing in the swill of
existence do your worst~ Wash it down for and aft~
