Yeah, well the joke’s on the food company. They just gave the employees a free lunch!

Well, that’s a team building exercise that won’t make it to the west.

You’ve been away from corporate America too long, I’m afraid.

You could take a brand new never-used urinal straight from the kiln and I still wouldn’t eat from it. Purely psychological, disgust by association. I am also unable to eat meat attached to bone,

Aside from being horribly abusive and degrading, how would keeping a urinal up to food-surface standards be a good use of anyone’s time or money?

Me neither, and I don’t really know why that is. I luv my chicken nuggets etc, but no matter how good that drumstick is, I’m never gonna finish it.

The Exploritorium in San Francisco has an exhibit of a perfectly clean toilet with a drinking fountain attached. I dared my child to drink from it; she refused. Given that, I kind of had to do it. I was able to drink from it, but I had to force myself. Telling myself that it was clean, sanitary, unused didn’t really help the sense of disgust and danger go away. What helped was not letting my daughter beat me. Good old competition with your child.

That’s an interesting interval. Like a really messed up Haley’s comet.

I am sure somehow right wingers will find a way to tie this (in their minds) to Democrats.

This indexes so beautifully with that old, school lavatory graffiti message:
“Flush hard; it’s a long way to the cafeteria.”

Not something William Deming had in mind, I should think.

… that could result in lost hours as those same employees projectile maddeningly (from both ends) into the company toilets.
I hope the person who came up with this idea was offered a bite of urinal cake for dessert.

This must be a thing. I’m the same with meat/bones though I rarely eat meat. Can’t eat chicken with skin on it either.

But… but… Meat on the bone is the tastiest meat!
(also, bone marrow is yummy)

I’m pretty sure that was in fact the point of the exercise.

I would like the story where the creep who came up with the idea is found duct taped to the bathroom wall and used as a urinal. Bet there would be a line for that one.
