Well, I'm all in favour of urinary reform.Anit-corruption measures begin at the most basic levels- I always say, show me a man who pees from a distance, I'll show you an embezzler.

I said I want a "groupie" not a "group pee"

"So, the next time you're at a public urinal, put your free arm around the waist of the guy using the adjacent spot, pull him close to you, and start talking about your feelings. It'll be no end of civilized!"

"The poorly-worded sign didn't really specify what you were supposed to get closer to while urinating, so next time he had to pee Xiao Feng chose to get closer to the crisply-uniformed PSB officer who had been examining everyone's documents and luggage."

When planning events for the next Inter-Provincial games, one of the organizers misunderstood the expression "Pissing contest".  The rest, as they say, is history.

In order to move forward as a civilized country, the Chinese are now promoting "fencing" over the ever-so-popular "sword-fighting."

Sociologists at the Beijing Institute for the Promotion of Public Harmony recently began a carefully crafted experiment to test the old adage, "It's better to be pissed off than to be pissed on."

"Yes, it IS civilized to get close to urinate. So next time you're bleeding the ol' lizard at a busy public urinal, put your free arm around the waist of the guy next to you and start telling him about your deepest personal feelings. Everyone will be real impressed by how civilized you are! "

Wasn't that the first step to the downfall of the Classic Greek Civilization?

And no honest man would tinkle from afar.

But a sportsman will poop for distance.

And leave the door ajar.

Wasn't that the first step to the downfall of the Classic Greek Civilization?

ClassicAL Greek Civilization?



Yes...after eventually evolving into a bunch of la-de-da fruit salads, their ancient culture was finally done in by Romans and by a seemingly endless series of filthy, 2-bit hordes coming out of Central Asia. Sadly, I know nothing of the Classical Greek language, written or spoken.


ClassIC Greek Civilization?



No...Happily, they are still alive and well and with us. I've picked up a phrase or two of Classic Greek, such as "Close de dam door...I got de dam air-conditionin' on!"

Anyway...up and at 'em, kids!

I remember seeing that picture shortly after the Sichuan earthquake. It was taken a few days before the earthquake struck. Many thought that the frogs' appearance was a pre-indicator of the coming earthquake (something about thermal temperatures below ground were heating up so the frogs migrated).

Yeah, here's the article, with the same picture:
