Feb. 25, 2005 Yes indeed, the European elite are far above us in their elegance and sophistication. It is well represented by the recent clever Belgian prank of pasting stickers of George W. Bush in their urinals for their women to urinate on. http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/276vsdtv.asp No, that's not a mistake. The Europeans, starting in Sweden and spreading to Germany and other countries, are on a political correctness crusade wherein the women are training their men to urinate sitting down. No, I am not kidding. http://newtimes.rway.com/2000/083000/bodymind.shtml Some have suggested that instead the women learn to urinate standing up. There are websites devoted to training women to do this, either with or without some mechanical help. http://StandandGo.com http://www.restrooms.org/Forum1.html (I never would have thought that lavatories would have their own dedicated organization.) Yes indeed, we can learn a lot from those intelligent, sophisticated Europeans. I am not sure what we can learn, however, from this particular example of rude and obnoxious behavior. ------------ About the author Brooks A.
