The fly in the urinal at Schipol Airport
 
Has anyone noticed the fly in the urinals at Schipol Airport in Amersdam? They are there for sanitary reasons. For more information on this check this web site:

Randy, if you got your fly in the urinal, you were doing it wrong!!

Seriously, I've seen those flies in urinals all over Europe and assumed they were some sort of logo or trademark for the company that makes them. That article is too funny and certainly offers too much information!!!

I've noticed them also. They do help with concentration...

Thanks for posting that. Not being a user of urinals, I've heard about the fly but never saw one. Now I know what they look like. :-)

Kind of scary, but during my first trip to Europe the different toilets (like the fly urinals) made a huge impression on me. (I guess you could say they moved me. Sorry.)

Gives a whole new meaning to the old phrase, "waiter, there's a fly in my 'soup'. "

And for all WC users, ever wonder why Dutch toilets have that weird ledge where your #2 rests?

Watch for it. Very, very bizarre . . .
