Mensroom Etiquette 

Men should ace this test ... women may have a little difficulty.
There IS a code of Restroom Etiquette" that MUST be followed.
===============================================

The following is the urinal configuration in a sample men's room.
An X above the number will indicate "in use."

(Sample):

|   |   | x |   |   | x |     (Indicates that urinals 3 and 6
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |      are occupied.)  
-------------------------

You are to identify correctly, based on urinal etiquette, at
which stall you are to correctly stand.  Good luck!


--------------------    Easy Section  --------------------

1.)|   | x |   | x |   |   |     (Urinals 2 and 4 occupied.) 
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   ------------------------- 
   
   Your choice: ___



----------------------------------------------------------------- 
Correct answer: 6       It's the ONLY one to go to and every 
			guy instinctively knows this.




2.)| x |   |   |   |   |   |    (Urinal 1 occupied.)
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 
   ------------------------- 

   Your choice:  ___ 



-----------------------------------------------------------------  
Correct answer: 6       Stall 5 is acceptable, but you run a greater risk 
			of being next to someone who arrives later.



-------------------------   Kind of tricky Section:   ------------------------- 

3.)|   |   |   |   |   |   |   (empty) 
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 
   -------------------------  

   Your choice:  __   



----------------------------------------------------------------- 
Correct answer:  1 or 6    	You are tacitly saying, "I don't want 
				anyone next to me." 



4.)|   | x |   | x |   | x |       (2, 4 and 6 occupied)    
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   -------------------------

   Your choice:  ___



-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer:  1      You're stuck being next to at least ONE guy, 
			so you minimize the impact and get a wall on your left. 
			NEVER go between TWO guys if you can help it.  Exceptions 
			to this are stadium restrooms where the herd thunders in.   



---------- Subtle, tricky, but important to know Section -----------


5.)|   | x |   |   | x | x |          (2, 5 and 6 occupied) 
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
   ------------------------- 

   Your choice:  __



-----------------------------------------------------------------
Correct answer:  4      Believe it or not, 1 and 3 "couples" you with the 
			guy in stall 2.  And we wouldn't want THAT now, would we? 
			This differs from question 4 in such a subtle way that
			the nuances cannot be explained.  Suffice to say, only 
			we men would understand!


 -----------------------------  VERY tricky indeed Section  -----------------------------




6.)| x | x |   |   | x | x |          (1, 2, 5 and 6 occupied)  
   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 
   ------------------------- 

   Your choice:  ___ 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 
Correct answer:  NONE!  	You go to the mirror and pretend to comb your
				hair or straighten a tie until the urinals "open up" 
				a bit more. If you have to go REAL, REAL BAD, 
				for god's sake! ... use a doored stall.



Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals:

-- NO Talking, unless it's a good friend... but even then, keep
 it terse and unemotional.  This ain't no clubhouse.  

-- I don't think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of 
anyone other than yourself.  A touch of another's elbow is of 
the highest offense.

-- NO Singing.  Period. 

-- Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only...
"Yeah, I see you there.  I will not look again".
