The restaurant/bar that I work at has 14" flatscreen TV's above the two urinals. I'm not a fan of this....already I've turned around to see that someone has been looking over my shoulder, and that's just disconcerting, to say the least!

This is actually old technology brought into the 21st century. Many companies over the years have developed "toilet targets" primarily intended for young boys in the potty training stage of life. Some were floating battleships that would sink when hit. Others were stickers that would change color when **ahem** urinated upon.

Adults soon realized the novelty of it all and party hosts in particular would replace the Ty-D-bol man with these targets.

Now if they could only do something for party "poopers".

I bet urinating on a battleship didn't release and advertisement in the old days :)

~~I think there's something written on the bottom of the battleship...~~

I'll see if I can find a volunteer to do some research on that.
