Watched "The Marriage Ref" tonight with Roni. It's a pretty funny show for the most part really. Real couples send in their petty fights to the show and let a panel of celebrities weigh in on who should "win" the disagreement. Don't worry they don't really air serious problems on the show, which is good, because then it would be called Dr. Phil and that's not funny.
Take tonight for example: There was a couple arguing over the husbands decision to bleach his hair blond in order to help what he hopes to be a successful cooking career take off. Really, not a serious problem that needs professional counseling. But seriously , most of these disagreements are simply quirks that every married couple has and argues about from time to time. But tonight, there was one couple that generated a bit of discussion between Roni and I.
One of the couples featured tonight happened to be having a disagreement about one of their bathrooms in the house (they have 3). The talk was about what the man wanted to do with the bathroom, and they have been discussing this for 4-5 years now. It seems that the husband would like to put a urinal in one of the bathrooms. His wife thinks that it is a crazy idea, but he has been shopping for a few years now for his "perfect" urinal and even wondered about making an offer on one at a place. This brought about some discussion with Roni about the need/desire/purpose of having a urinal. So here are a few reasons why a urinal would be a nice addition to a house.
I tried to explain to Roni that for a man using a urinal is the equivalent of a woman using a regular toilet. Think about this for a moment. Why is it that girls don't have problems with hitting the bowl every time (at least after you have potty trained)? Because they are right up on it! It's like being able to stand on top of the rim in basketball and simply drop the ball through the hoop...you're not going to miss.
It is the same with a guy and a urinal. The urinal allows for us to have to urinating equivalent of standing on the rim. We are able to get right up there close (although never touching any part of the urinal) and do our thing. The person who invented this was a genius and was probably a woman who was tired of cleaning up after those late night trips to the bathroom by her husband.
This is the brilliance of having a urinal in the bathroom at home. It is convenient - no longer is there the need to lift anything to take care of business. This would be great in the middle of the night when you stagger, still mostly asleep, into the bathroom to pee. Even better there is no longer the need to have to remember to put anything DOWN after one of these trips. Now the woman has sole responsibility for whether the seat gets left up and she falls in.
In the end, I truly feel that a home urinal would be a sound investment for any home. Thankfully they come in various models from which to choose, thus helping the wife to feel that she has some kind of say in the matter. She can pick the one that is most aesthetically pleasing and goes best with her bathroom decor. After all, she does have several styles to choose from:
Such as the Bardon, the Branham, the Darfield, the Dexter, the Freshman, the Stanwell, the Jarvis or finally even the Steward waterless. No matter what you go with, an at home urinal sure seems like a good choice. Peace and Love y'all.
