Men's Room 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 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".
