Now this is a very interesting question you are raising there, Bill. Years ago I have carried out an extensive series of experiments and I feel this is a forum that might thank me for sharing insights from back then. I might want to add I am not circumcised. Phase 1: stand in front of the loo and pee. This gives you a lot of grief. It splatters all over the place. And the dispersion gets even worse the more beer you have had before. -- So, this method is to be avoided at any cost. Phase 2: stand in front of the loo and pee but pull the foreskin just a bit back to improve aiming accuracy and jet homogenity (this is where Bill's question hooks in). Much better. Even after 5 to 7 Hefeweizen (in a state I would call quite royally hammered) one seems to get a remarkable success rate. What the untrained eye misses, though, is what even an untrained nose will tell you only a day later: the biting stench of decaying pee drops which inevitable spray the immediate vicinity of the loo. -- Not nice at all. So, this method cannot really be recommended either. Phase 3: the sitting down option, exercised with care. Absolutely grand results. No splatter. No smell. Way to go. I have been exercising this now for more than two decades and I've never looked back. Watch out, though, and avoid actually sitting on the loo but peeing over the rim outside right into the bathroom -- or even better onto your pants; very awkward; does break the ice at parties, though.

So let's stand up and pee, just learn to aim in the right direction. At least nobody has to worry about Hillary becoming president any longer.

II make fun of America at least once a day! (I almost made fun of America during my history class, which has a very racist, sexist, nationalist person ever. He says that America is the best and everywhere else sucks.) Besides, most of these posts make fun of most Americans are so full of themselves. ^_^' THAT'S the part that makes me laugh. ~An American Everyone needs to lighten up.

Take this example from today: http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/0,1518,558150,00.html everyone who know this particular newspaper, knows their headlines are often satirical but compared to (mostly bad nazi-)jokes about germany i've heard on american late-night-tv or snl, this on is pretty harmless BUT americans are very sensitive regarding this part of US-history, so they are whining about, especially the pc-police.
