Sigh.  I actually sat through a 45 minute presentation (and ensuing debate) on these at a Plumbing Board meeting a few years ago.  The cartridge has some sort of oil in it which floats on top of the liquids and creates an odor proof seal.

This is really showing me how little I know about urinals in general.  In a water based urinal, can one dispose of debris like in a toilet?  Such as flicking in a cigarette?

Maybe it is like a Water Board but they have that awkward name because they don't want to have to say "I'm going waterboarding" when asked what they're doing that night?

You can, but the janitor is going to have to giraffe it out, and then he's going to hide a sardine in your office.

What is a Plumbing Board and why were you at its meeting?

Actually, it's called the Plumbing Code Committee, and it's the state government entity which regulates the plumbing industry (e.g. licensing, permitting, product approvals, construction standards, et al) in Kentucky.  At the time, I was their lawyer (in addition to the Boards of the HVAC, Electrical, Manufactured Housing, Boilers, General Contractors and so forth).  I sat through dozens of presentations about the most mundane products you can imagine.  And all in the most exquisite detail, no less!

Yeah, Spouse called me a while back. She lost her wallet with all but $25 and all her credit cards and was standing in the airport with nowhere to go.

I gave her the AMEX Corporate # to see what they could do and canceled the other one(s) she had. Then I called the hotel and set up the front desk with her phone # and paid for a cab to go get her.

Now I can't get her on the phone, which prolly means the cabby can't either.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY, MY MIGGROIDS.

It all gets better from here!

AMEX will save your ass all day long and then throw points at you like candy while cancelling your restaurant bill because you said so.
