Should be cheaper to piss in public
Um... maybe they should pay a fine based on the amount of pee. After all, a little trickle isn't as bad as if you piss like a horse.ST. LOUIS Jan 16, 2006 — Ken Ortmann, an alderman who owns a local tavern wants to lower the penalties for public urination before the Feb. 25 Mardi Gras Parade.
Ortmann said his bill would allow police to issue different citations for public urinators who try to be discreet than they might for those who are more open about it. "There's a difference between going in the middle of the street, in front of God and country, and somebody who is behind a Dumpster," Ortmann said.
But public urination remains plenty offensive to residents of Soulard, where some homeowners leave their sprinklers on to discourage Marti Gras partygoers from relieving themselves on their lawns.
