napoleonic complexes [Lester]

in every decent sized men's room, there are urinals lined up shoulder to shoulder against the wall. they typically come in two sizes, short (intended for short men or boys) or tall (intended for normal sized men).

tall men piss in the short urinals because the added distance looking down makes them feel tall.

short men piss in the tall urinals because they are also a "big boy" and pee where the men pee. this too, makes them feel tall.

men's rooms and the urinals not found in womens restrooms are a symbol of masculinity and corresponding height. this is in addition to the fact that men pee standing up, seemingly on to walls.

now for the splatter shoe, hand splash back issues associated with streaming piss onto porcelain, that is a different matter speaking to our actual intelligence.
