Take the first annual, Choose-A-Urinal Challenge!


Men should ace this test (or suffer the wrath of men everywhere)...
women are on their own.  But, there IS a code of the restroom that
MUST be followed.

The following is the urinal configuration in a sample men's room.
An X above the number will indicate "in use."

(Sample)
|   |   | x |   |   | x |     indicates men are at stalls 3
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |     and 6.
-------------------------


You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at which
stall you are to correctly stand. Good luck!


--------------------
  Easy Section
--------------------
 
1)     |   | x |   | x |   |   |   (Stalls 2 and 4 occupied.)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       -------------------------

  Your choice:  __  (don't page down until you've chosen!)





1 (easy).      6         It's the ONLY one to go to and every guy
                         instinctively knows this.


2)     | x |   |   |   |   |   |   (1 occupied.)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       -------------------------

  Your choice:  __  (don't page down until you've chosen!)





2 (easy).      6         Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a
                         greater risk of being next to someone
                         who arrives later.

-------------------------
Kind of Tricky Section
-------------------------

3)     |   |   |   |   |   |   |   (empty)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       --------------------------

Your choice:  __  (don't page down until you've chosen!)





3 (kind of tricky).      1 or 6    You are tacitly saying, "I
                                   don't want anyone next to me."



4)     |   | x |   | x |   | x |     (2, 4 and 6 occupied)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       -------------------------

Your choice:  ___  (don't page down until you've chosen!)





4 (kind of tricky).      1    You're stuck being next to at
                              least ONE guy, so you minimize the
                              impact and get a wall on your left.
                              NEVER go between TWO guys if you
                              can help it.

---------------------------------------------
Subtle, Tricky, But Important To Know Section
---------------------------------------------

5)     |   | x |   |   | x | x |      (2, 5 and 6 occupied)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       -------------------------

Your choice:  __   (don't page down until you've chosen!)





5 (HARD!).        4      Believe it or not,  1 and 3 "couple"
                         you with the guy in stall 2.
                         This differs from question 4 in such a
                         subtle way that the nuances cannot be
                         explained.  Suffice to say, only we men
                         would understand!

-----------------------------
VERY Tricky Indeed Section
-----------------------------


6)     | x | x |   |   | x | x |    (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied)
       | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
       -------------------------

Your choice:  ___   (don't page down until you've chosen!)





6 (DAMN HARD!).     NONE!  You go to the mirror and pretend to
                    comb your hair or straighten a tie until the
                    urinals "open up" a bit more. If you have to
                    go REAL, REAL BAD...for god's sake,
                    man!...use a doored stall.

Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals:

-- NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep
   it terse and unemotional. This ain't no clubhouse.

-- Absolutely NO touching of anyone else.  Even the slightest touch
   of another's elbow is of the highest offense.

-- NO Singing.  Period.

-- Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only..."Yeah, I see
   you there. I will not look again."
