"Urinals of Western Canada." usually discovered in the local hotel bar. We kicked the idea around about doing a book on... "Urinal's of the World." And because we were a crew of 7 guys and one female.... the boss. These guys were all well travelled about the world, so we talked about the weird ones we'd seen and or used during our travel assignments. So urinals became a major topic of discussion. Much to the boss's amazement that we'd spend so much time talking about a subject she didn't have any experince with. :-) And certainly no interest in. ;-) The director and myself put together a book proposal with all the locations the guys brought up during conversations, along with descriptions etc. I think one of the best book proposal presentations I've ever seen. :-) I mean it only required lots of money for travel and a brilliant publisher to understand the fun concept.:-) I presented it to a Toronto publisher, unfortunately a female owner of the publishing house and she was completely disgusted with the idea and I was out the door! :-( Pity. :-) So nothing ever happend to the idea. :-( So if you folks, well OK the guys? ;-)Those with nothing better to do, you could start a "Urinal a Week!" series. ;-) Hey your welcome I thought you'd like the idea! ;-) ted
