EndPointUrinals.com

Conversation started by Don't stand so close to me....

I gave my brother an inordinate amount of grief over this post. I suggested that he would start a web site at EndPointUrinals.com, PrivatePeeing.com, or any number of related domain names. However, as I reply to this weeks later, I noticed the Police title of the post. Chris, I don't know if that was intentional, but either way, it was cool.

In response to the grief (hey, it's what brothers do), Chris assured me that the post was less about documenting his trip to the bathroom and more about discussing courtesy. Courtesy is something that seems to have gone out the window these days. The other day I was driving down a two-lane road with a center turn lane. Ahead of where I was at was an island designed to give crossing pedestrians a safe haven. This maroon Pontiac races down the center turn lane to try to zip around the line of traffic and proceeds to get stuck at the island. While some might call this karma, I believe there is a different standard that applies here: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."a. However, this concept works both ways, so what if we start sowing some kindness and courtesy?

By the way, I agree with rule #1b that Chris put forth, but I know I have broken #2c on a number of occasions. I think it more rude to not say hello to someone you know, however, then to talk to someone in the bathroom. However, I don't want to talk to you on the phone when you are in the can.

Footnotes

  1. Galatians 6:7
  2. Rule 1 - Distance. In a 3 urinal setup (like mine at the office), one should always choose the end urinal if all urinals are unoccupied. This gives a second person the opportunity to take the other end urinal, and not stand so close to someone else in the midst of evacuating their bladder.
  3. Rule 2 - Silence. Don't talk to your fellow urinators. Ever.
  4. I don't know why I felt like footnotes tonight.

Lack of Content

Chris and I may be on blogging hiatus for a few days while we deal with our offline lives. I have posted about my hiatus on my blog, and the hiatus is due to job transition and residential transition. Along with this comes blogging transition for me. My blog is now temporarily residing at JackWolfgang.blogspot.com until I can get a domain established, etc. As far as I know, Brothers Blog is remaining in it's present location for the time being.
