Whizometer

Post by Dan Schultz »

Well... I'm 63 years old and figured I had just about seen it all. Tonight... after our normal Tuesday night band rehearsal, some of 'the gang' went to our favorite 'watering hole'. When we arrived, I went straight to the men's room. There was this 'gadget' called a 'Whizometer' in the urinal. It has a digital readout and a little water-wheel on it and is made to register the velocity of pee. Here's the website for the gadget... http://www.twentyacorns.com/index.html

I'm sure you could. I was the first one in our group to spot the gadget and by the time I figured out exactly what it was and how it operated.... I was about done. I'll have to confess that I only scored a 'four'. I'll do MUCH better next time! :)

I saw one of these about a year and a half ago at a bar in central nebraska. "Chicken Coop" or something another. Either way, they actually had a screen in the bar that would let you see how fast the meter was spinning in the mens room and it had a "best of" like a pacman video game or such.

Well, see, I saw the thread title and thought to myself, "That sure sounds like a pee-stream meter of some kind, but *it*couldn't*be*.) Well....it was, wasn't it? I think the only reason I've survived in engineering is my innate understanding of the male sense of humor. Don't ask me where that came from, because I certainly do not know. I do know that men's wives hate me because their husbands love it that I get their sense of humor and actually laugh at stuff like this.

Look, this thing has surfaced in Atlanta. On TV no less.

I wonder if Leslie Neilsen was using a Whizometer in this classic and hilarious segment of "Naked Gun"?

I tried to get the head custodian at the school to get these for the boys rooms, but he said no :(

Just in time for football season, and that ever-popular cheer:

"We're Number One!" :lol:

(I've often thought that a good counter-cheer for that would be:
"Number One?
Oh no, not you --
You ain't even
Number Two ..."
:wink: )
