    Absolutely! A couple times through out the years of my time spent thinking about important issues like this, why we don't see more of those masterpiece designs. Very user friendly and just cooler. It's like you send your urine on a roller coaster ride before it disappears into the drain. I remember growing up in Portland OR these were common. But now as an adult in the south, I never see them.

    What would be cool would be to have little mini water tube roller coaster we could pee in and watch it flow through a maze of plastic tubes... making little plastic people in the pool at the bottom float as it gets drained.

    I always thought it’d be cool to have a dog that could pee in it.

    i currently haul milk for walton milk hauling. i am NOT afraid of the tanker exploding. i am afraid of rollovers, which is actually a very serious possibility with milk hauling. i know the risks and drive accordingly. i have no fear of doing 60+ on the straight road, but when it comes to curves SLOW down and you will be just fine. if the curve is rated for 45, do 35-40 around the curve.

    know the risks and respect it. it will be just fine. exploding milk tanks is not one of those risks.

    implosion is generally caused by improper unloading procedure. generally unloading is the responsibility of a plant receiver. implosion is caused by unloading the trailed in an unvented state. if a receiver decides to unload my trailer without venting it im going to laugh because im going to get a new trailer.

    the only time the driver might unload a milk tanker if the load is rejected and needs to be dumped. when it comes to milk hauling and milk tankers i do know what i am talking about.

    Well thanks you just made my jokes about midgets awkward. :(

    If this is the reasoning for the toilets being so #### short in a non-ada compliant stall...I'm going to be heart broken. My jokes of herds of midgets unloading from tour buses and cars like Mexican Circus clowns will never be shared, an this would be a travesty. Imagine the image...

    (No offense to my Mexican Circus Clown friends out there, if anyone should be able to take a joke..I know ya'll ain't short on humor..)

    Please stop ruining my attempts at poor humor with logical thinking, and commonsense.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - You must be this tall to use this urinal.
