Article for Debate: Umbrellas

Article for Debate: Urinal Sanctity
Items in Red are in contention, and require discussion and approval.
We, the Men, do hereby declare that, in any bathroom containing not less than three urinals, a Man shall make every effort to maintain a one-urinal distance from any other Man. It is the American Custom to halt conversation during the period of time spent in the bathroom in front of the Urinal. Conversation may resume upon reaching the hand washing stage.
Mandated Exceptions
- Clogging or other functionality issue with Urinal in correct proximal distance.
- Urgency in extremis can create an exception so long as Sanctity of the Eyes is maintained.
- For training purposes, a Urinal may be used communally, although care must be taken not to disrupt fellow urinal patrons while training is underway.
- Those born outside the US are partially exempted from this rule, in that they will gain no penalty, but the US born conversational partner should wait until the appropriate stage to reply. In no circumstances should eye contact be made!!!

Mandated Exceptions
