Politics can often get people a little hot under the collar, and overly pointless comments threads of heated exchange can often erupt. So, on Sundays we blow off a little steam to help remind ourselves that this is a political humor site, emphasis on the humor. We do this by arguing over a topic that even political geeks can agree is just plain stupid.
Although I altered it slightly, this week’s topic is suggested by our own Les James, who you can read here every Tuesday. You can also check out his military humor and satire site, Sideshow Mirrors.
Peeing in the shower: Great water conservation technique, or efficient time management.
Be sure to have an overly strong opinion and…

Actually, I believe it makes me Presidential material as I can do more than one thing at once.

The flow of this post concerns me. The lack of creativity gushes forth from within the words. Hopefully, some good comments will spring from this, and not in drips and drops either.
I’m really thirsty for some reason…

it’s great time management. Who gives a crap about water. Time is money, water is free. Unless you buy it in bottles, but you get the point. Not only that, but fish crap in water. Anyone that likes water is just stupid.

Is this an either/or decision, or are both criteria satisfied by the act described?

Good grief.
NOW I have a mental picture of Larry the Cable Guy stuck in my head… and reminders of a pamphlet given to me during my first pregnancy on training your pelvic muscles - lying in the tub, peeing then stopping mid-pee - to strengthen them for birth and to prevent post-pregnancy incontinence. I never was very good at following rules, so I didn’t bother (I was young and invincible and exceptionally stupid at the time, of course). Four children later, I have only vague memories of bladder control. Back in the olden days, I had a strong aversion to peeing anywhere other than in the toilet; nowadays, if I happen to sneeze or cough while in the shower, well… oops, I guess my work is done.
So I gotta vote for time management - especially with having a handy-dandy spray bottle of bleach close at hand to take care of those “mishaps.” Now that I think about it, those new spray cleaners for the shower were probably made with shower-peeing in mind. (And yes, I know you’re running in circles, squawking TMI TMI TMI as you pull clumps of hair from your head at my revelations. BWAAHAAHAA)

RT - not to worry, I hear they’re for rent.
Actually Angie it was refreshing to hear a woman’s in-depth perspective on the subject. But you could have left out Larry.
As it was pointed out to me, to be truly conservation minded the act of showering would be in and of its self an act against nature. As is breathing, what with all the CO2 being released into the atmospehere.
These are things to ponder tomorrow morning as the hot water streams out of the shower head, feeling so good. I’ll watch as a second stream of 98.6 degree, yellow-tinged liquid, swirls down the drain. I might stay in extra long to see how well my water heater is working or just because I can.
Later, I think I go out and shoot a spotted owl. They’re in short supply around here so I’d better hurry before they’re all gone.

@Chris C >>I’m really thirsty for some reason…
Uhmm…no, I don’t want to know about your “mountain dew” (wink wink) fetish after all.
Anyway - The correct answer is Totally Time Management.
In places with water shortages, they all ready follow the “yellow let it mellow” philosophy - so clearly no water is being saved by peeing in the shower.

“Uhmm…no, I don’t want to know about your “mountain dew” (wink wink) fetish after all.”
There’s nothing wrong with yellow discipline now and then.

I peed in the shower once.
I wasn’t the one taking the shower at the time, so it didn’t go so well…
