Peeing on Pomegranates
OK, we're going into some slightly weird country here, but I am a man who makes out with giraffes, so very little should surprise you.
Such as, for example, my discovery that in more than one men's room in Nairobi, instead of the standard white deodorant puck in the urinal they use multicolored deodorant balls - you pee on grapes, on plums, on tiny oranges and big apples.
I failed to photograph this at the time, not seeking to court deportation as a kinky foreigner, and I haven't been able to find anything online, so you're going to have to trust me on this. (There may be some online source with illustrations, but I'm on my company computer right now and I don't want to leave a really long search term trail for "colored urinal balls" thank you very much.)
However, if you are interested in pursuing the creative uses of the waste stream, so to speak, check out "urinal soccer."
