Urinal Test #1

Take the quiz below. The men will be checking their actions vs the "correct answers and the women readers will be amused how different the male bathroom is different than the "powder rooms" This is psychological amusement, not dirty humor. Read it and I'm sure you will agree.

The following is the urinal configuration in a sample men's room. An X above the number will indicate "in use."

NOTE: You need to ensure that this is in a fixed width font in order to see this clearly. If not, let me know.


  (Sample):

   |   |   | x |   |   | x |     (Indicates that urinals 3 and 6
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |     are occupied.)
   -------------------------

You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at which
stall you are to stand.  Good luck!

   --------------------
     Easy Section
   --------------------
  1.)

   |   | x |   | x |   |   |     (Urinals 2 and 4 occupied.)
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   -------------------------

  Your choice: ___
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Correct answer: 6        It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy
                           instinctively knows this.

===============================================
  2.)

   | x |   |   |   |   |   |    (Urinal 1 occupied.)
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   -------------------------

  Your choice:  ___
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer: 6   Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater
                    risk of being next to someone who arrives later.

===============================================
   -------------------------
   Kind of tricky Section:
   -------------------------
  3.)

   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   (empty)
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   --------------------------

  Your choice:  __
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Correct answer:  1 or 6  You are tacitly saying, "I don't want
                    anyone next to me."

===============================================
  4.)

    |   | x |   | x |   | x |       (2, 4 and 6 occupied)
    | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
    -------------------------

  Your choice:  ___
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Correct answer:  1        You're stuck being next to at
                            least ONE guy, so you minimize the
                            impact and get a wall on your left.
                            NEVER go between TWO guys if you
                            can help it.  Exceptions to this
                            are stadium restrooms where the
                            herd thunders in.

===============================================
   -----------------------------------------------
   Subtle, tricky, but important to know Section
   -----------------------------------------------
  5.)

  |   | x |   |   | x | x |          (2, 5 and 6 occupied)
  | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   -------------------------

  Your choice:  __
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Correct answer:  4       Believe it or not,  1 and 3 "couples"
                           you with the guy in stall 2.  And we
                           wouldn't want THAT now, would we?

                           This differs from question 4 in such a
                           subtle way that the nuances cannot be
                           explained.  Suffice to say, only we men
                           would understand!

===============================================
   -----------------------------
   VERY tricky indeed Section
   -----------------------------
  6.)

  | x | x |   |   | x | x |          (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied)
  | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   -------------------------

  Your choice:  ___
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer:  NONE!      You go to the mirror and pretend to    comb 
your hair or straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" a bit more.  
If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD, ... use a doored stall.

===============================================

	
Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals:

    * While taking care of business, stare at the imaginary "Pee Spot" directly in front of you. Do not let your eyes wander about.

    * NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse.

    * I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another's elbow is of the highest offense.

    * NO Singing. Period.

    * Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only "Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again"
