After we had a house fire a few years ago my insurance company balked on footing the bill for a new kitchen sink till the carpenters that were rehabbing the house admitted to using it as a urinal while the bathroom was out of commission. After their confession the insurance co quickly agreed to pay for a new sink.
It came with the house. Previous owner ran a business out of the finished side of the basement. He had sink and urinal put in at the same time. Was probably a business write-off.
Note to self:
MUST ALWAYS have at least one functioning toilet when strangers in house.
Note the smiley face.
He was making a joke - why install a urinal when you can just piss in the tub?
I've done it maybe twice in many years when the wife and I came home from a road trip and both had to hit the toilet NOW. I wasn't about to tell her to use the sink. It splashes some yellow in the sink. Easier to rinse off than that nasty toothpaste you spit in there. I don't see it as a big deal. I'm 5' 8" so I had to stand on my toes. If I was a bachelor and taller I might make a practice of it. Since I'm neither it's much easier to just use the toilet. But the sink is more efficient than flushing a toilet.
In the basement I have a quart plastic jug on the back of the deep laundry sink. I can piss in that without splashing a drop, and pour it down the sink drain without splashing a drop in the sink itself. I don't even bother running the faucet after pouring it down, and have asked my wife if she ever smells piss when doing laundry. "No." So a jug is as good as a urinal in my case.

Sigh. Urinals and toilets don't have mirrors.
I don't live in Africa.
Do you see anyone, other than you, disagreeing with the concept?
Perhaps you should have a lie-down. Evidently your golden idol is tarnished.
Sounds like you'd like a date with Melissa?

I don't know what the problem is, cats are eaten just like dogs are in other cultures. ^_^
TDD
Should be one in the bedroom on his side of the bed. For the three or so times he's got to go in the middle of the night. And one in the cellar, next to the work bench.
If you do put one in you can put a mirror over it with a sign reading,
"Objects in mirror may be smaller than they look."
Or, skip the mirror and just put up a sign over it reading:
"The future of the human race is in your hands now."
