I've always thought bathrooms and elevators are totally awkward -- especially when you're with your boss. Or someone famous. It's like suddenly the power structure has dissolved and we're just two people who need to poop. And I don't want to be "that guy" (or in my case "that girl") who corners some celebretatunt in a vulnerable moment where they may/may not get cell reception (the security blanket of todays up and coming former child-stars). Anyway, i think it's totally weird guys all pee together standing up. But now that I know it's all about math, I'm okay with it. GREAT BLOG, PAUL!!!! LOL!

Like, someone's head sticking up out of the urinal. It kind of works. I have a friend who suggests that any time you have a little trouble getting going, just picture peeing onto someone’s head.

I've been pee-shy my entire life and hate using urinals. I could have to go so badly I can feel it bubbling up behind my teeth, but if someone steps up next to me (or even 4 over) at the urinals, you can bet I'm not going to be going any time soon. Now I have a way around that - multiplication! If I make it complicated enough, I might be able to tune out that others are there! But I doubt I'll put it into practice much - I also hate urinals for the way your pee splashes back in tiny little droplets even if you're <i>really, really</i> careful. Thank you Pauly!

I can't remember the last time I was able to go into a stall without a little one attached. If it weren't for the damn Costco auto flushers that have permanently freaked my daughter out from any alone potty stall time, then I might actually have some hope of trying 3 column multiplication in my head someday. Hmmm. Yep...a strange one this is today. The whole mommy thing really has taken over my life. I can’t remember the last time I was able to go into a stall without a little one attached.
