What level of conversation is acceptable when using a urinal?
When two strange men are standing next to each other, dicks in hand, their backs to other men, there are two messages they generally want to relay to one another:
I’m not gay; and I hope you’re not gay. (I assume the message gay guys want to convey is I am gay, but I’m just taking a piss). In order to convey this message, I think the following rules should apply:
Stare straight ahead or look down at your own penis, as if encouraging it to pee. Do not look at your neighbor, but be careful not to look in the opposite direction from him. Looking away conveys a sense of submissiveness, which you do not wish to convey while standing next to a suspected homosexual holding his penis (he’s holding his penis, not you).
Conversation is acceptable but should be limited to sports or breasts. I think topics to avoid should include fashion, baking, and ballet. In the unfortunate instance that you are at the ballet, the proper urinal comment should be "Man, those girls sure have nice cans."
What do you guys think?
