"Thank heavens I can finally pee standing up! My prayers have been answered!"

Earlier today, as I was scanning D-Listed (a celebrity gossip/other interesting random news website that I personally find a lot funnier than Perez Hilton), I saw an entry about a little device known as Go Girl. It looks like this:
What on earth could this odd pink device be used for, you ask? Is it a new age spitball launcher? A funky, fashion forward hat of sorts? A modern lounge chair for your dollhouse? No, friends, it is none of the above. This handy-dandy little booger is used to make it possible for a girl to pee standing up. Yes, you heard correctly - now females all over the world will no longer have to waste time crafting a toilet paper barrier between your butt and the toilet seat. No more will you have to dread going on camping trips, fearing leg cramps from having to squat over a bush. You can stand up right next to your boyfriend and pee standing up! Heck - you could probably even sneak in the boys restroom and use the urinals! As instructed on their website, simply plug your peehole with the Go Girl and whizz away! The funnel makes it possible to aim your pee wherever you wish - in the toilet, in the bushes, or on the foot of the unsuspecting person in the stall next to you.

..........

They can't be serious. Now, as someone who is a total germ-o-phobe, you'd think I'd love this product. (not having to sit down on the seat in the dirty public bathroom, and the website claims that the silicone funnel is "germ resistant") Not so. I can just picture the whole bacteria-filled nightmare of trying to use this contraption. First off, I don't see how without extensive practice, you wouldn't just pee all over your hand every single time, just trying to get it lined up with the opening. They say if that happens, you haven't created a "seal" between the funnel and yourself. Let's entertain the idea that you do create such a "seal" and pee successfully standing up or in whatever position you want to try out. Even if you didn't pee all over your hand...there will inevitably be pee IN the Go Girl. They say you can put it in a little baggie and stick it back in your purse for later use. WTF?! I'm not putting something I peed into in my purse...with my lipgloss, hairbrush, keys, phone, etc. Maybe it's because I'm so sensitive about germs...but this crap grosses me out.

haha my goodness!
can you imagine going through an airport security center and having to dump all the contents of your purse in one of those little trays....
oh, hello officer that's my lip gloss, wallet, book and pee cup.....come on!

Wait, wait...so the SMALL end goes up against the "pee hole"?
Have they ever SEEN one? Yeah...that's likely to work out well. Many women can't even find certain larger parts of that particular area of anatomy...please.

PS: you should write a book of potential blog subject lines. I don't even have to read the entry before I'm laughing my ass off. You kill me!
