This is one for the lads only, writes Brian Byrne.
If you go for a pee in a bar in Michigan USA, the urinal might talk to you and suggest you don't drive home if you've had a few drinks.
Or more accurately, hi-tech deoderiser 'cakes' used in the urinals do the talking. A typical message is "Listen up. That's right, I'm talking to you. Had a few drinks? Maybe a few too many? Then do yourself and everyone else a favor: Call a sober friend or a cab. Oh, and don't forget to wash your hands."
The talking deoderisers cost about $21 each and are being distributed by local traffic safety authorities.
A safety s(p)lash too far?
