Where in the name of Charles de Gaulle are the urinals in that photo?

It is this kind of sniggers and seething that cause France to be omitted from editions of Globes produced worldwide beginning 2019. Also, all history books ever making mention of France have been recalled.

Every three weeks. That’s how often they change the hay bale. Does no one breathe in France?

Eliza Doolittle: Here! What are you sniggering at?
Freddy Eynsford-Hill: The new small talk, you do it so awfully well.
Eliza Doolittle: Well, if I was doing it proper, what was you sniggering at? Have I said anything I oughtn't?

Playing loud, stinking Manilow music would spike the sniggers, but the less rapid moistening of the straw would be something I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice. You know I can't smile without you.

In addition to does no one breathe in France, does no one wash their hands?
Note to self: do not shake hands of touch ANYTHING while in France!!!

From my experience the urinals are those vertical brown poles with something green on top of them
Posted by: Trevor | August 13, 2018 at 07:20 PM
They'll need to place a fairly hefty order with the urinal cake patisserie...

Larry in Marketing suggests calling them, "Oui Oui" boxes.

The Parisian pissoires of old were fine looking and smelling things, and it's a shame they had to be removed and burned in order to save the planet.
