As if you don’t hear it enough; from TV or radio commercials, to billboards on the highway, to tiny print on the label of your longneck (that even a sober person can’t read), you shouldn’t drink and drive. Well now bar patrons in Santa Fe, NM will also get a reminder when they least expect it...at the urinal.

Yep, the state of New Mexico purchased 500 talking urinal cakes at a whopping $21 a piece, just to remind would-be law breakers that drinking and driving is a bad idea. Currently the cakes, which are battery operated and have pre-recoded messages in a “flirty woman’s voice”, are only being placed in men’s restrooms throughout the city but plans are in place to distribute them to bars in other towns in the near future.

Note to the guys: Avoid restrooms with talking urinals.
The reason: Whether you’re three sheets to the wind or stone-cold sober, if, while in the vulnerable yet concentrative state of bladder relief, you’re startled by a woman’s voice, don't jump otherwise things could get a little “out of hand”, and your neighbor probably won’t appreciate it.
