Rooftop urinals in Japan

A line of urinals on a rooftop in Musashino, Tokyo offer a rather nice view of Mount Fuji:

But don’t worry. Nobody is peeing on the roof. It’s actually part of a facility that trains building maintenance workers. Those urinals are just for repair practice.

The guy who had this idea is graduated in fine arts and wrote a paper about Duchamp.

if you re fixing toilet urinals, my guess is you made some bad choices in life.

Apparently you’ve never hired a plumber.

Playing Super Mario bros doesn`t mean you hired one either.
You do know Mario and Luigi aren`t real plumbers right?

how many men here wish they have urinals
in the bathrooms of their own homes?

For bachelors they do – they’re called “sinks”.

Of course once you’re married that habit gets nipped fast.

Sinks are pretty high up compared to regular toilets.
You must either be really tall, have a really low sink, have excellent personal plumbing (with an instantaneous cut-off at the end), or use a stepping stool.

So…..if I WANTED to pee in one could I? I couldn’t think of a better way to relax into it than chilling with a view of Fujisan.

actually, this reminds me of an episode of Scrubs, where they use the Epiphany Toilet.

I wonder how much deep thinking can be done by peeing in one of these things..haha

I wonder if they ever drop a wrench over the edge. Seems pretty risky to be walking on the sidewalk below.

I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a vodka drink; when I go to work, I pee off the brink!

That’s funny. From what I hear, Monavie is basically a big pyramid scam. Less than 1% of “workers” make any money, and less than 0.1% make more than $100 a week.
