“Tossing Urine On Wyoming Roads Might Become Illegal
Tossers Could Get Jail Time Under New Measure

thedenverchannel.com
CHEYENNE, Colo. -- Urinating in a bottle and tossing it along the road would be made illegal under a bill introduced in the Wyoming Senate Wednesday.

Lawmakers said the practice has become problematic in many areas of the state.

The measure would make it littering, a misdemeanor punishable by up to nine months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Bill sponsor Bill Vasey, of Rawlins, admitted that the bill would be hard to enforce. But he said the measure is still needed to address an increasingly pungent problem, especially among highway cleanup crews.”

“The measure would make it littering...

So, tossing a bottle out the window without pee in it is not considered littering in Colorado??”

“So is it ok to use a cup instead?”

“LMAO!”

“I'm guessing that hanging it out of a moving vehicle is acceptable too. It would discourage tailgating.”

“Would it be ok to use a ziplock bag?

That's not a bottle.”

“Using a ziploc could be a little messy!”

“Dateline Cheyenne, Colorado?”

“LOL! they just corrected that”

“I thought that was weird. Now they've changed it to CHEYENNE, Wyo.”

“errr...”

“A buddy of mine used a Dixie Solo cup once. It was a thing to behold; we were stuck in slowly moving traffic on the way to Tuscaloosa for a game, and he had been drinking like nuts. He was in the backseat of a F350 CrewCab, I was in the seat in front of him. He filled that thing to within a half inch of the top, then I opened my door, he opened his door, and he set it on the roadway, from a moving vehicle, while drunk. I guess God was smiling on me that day...”

“Bitpusher,

I can imagine the incident, but I am sort of glad I wasn't there. I can remember using 2 liter soda bottles on college spring break trips from Western NY to Florida. I had a room mate who really freaked out when we starting using them for that purpose. I guess he had lived a sheltered life.....”

“The problem is mainly with the truckers. They don't want to stop to pee because they can only drive so many hours in a day. What they do, is while driving, they fill up the resealable soda bottles, and through the out on the highways. Then along come the "Adopt-A-Highway" volunteers and pick this trash up. They're more worried about diseases and such, not so much about the pollution, although it is a growing problem.

By the way, the senator that proposed the bill is from Rawlins, which is on I-80, a major route for truckers, and drug runners.”

“Thanks for clarifying things, Chief. I just assumed it was from that fast-paced Wyoming lifestyle - people just don't have time to stop and pee.”

“I figured it was from those signs.

You know the ones.


520 Miles To Next Rest Stop”

“its time to bring this thread back up....



...now i really have to pee!”

“LOL...I totally forgot about the poem and this thread...A word to the wise...never piss into an empty Corona bottle with a lime inside and set it next to your cold beer :O”

“damn, have to pee again...have to pee twenty billion times a day!”

SEATTLE — Roadside litter comes in all shapes and sizes — from dirty diapers to syringes — but there's one category that out-grosses the rest: trucker bombs.

Most drivers whiz along the nation's highways largely oblivious to their roadside surroundings. But next time you are out there, take a closer look.

"As soon as you look for it you’ll see it," says Megan Warfield, litter programs coordinator at Washington state's Department of Ecology. "You just see them glistening in the sun. It’s just gross."

They are trucker bombs, plastic jugs full of urine tossed by truckers, and even non-truckers, who refuse to make a proper potty stop to relieve themselves.

The state hasn't counted how many such jugs are found each year, but a single, small county decided to do its own tally. "In one year," Warfield says, "one crew found 2,666 bottles of urine, 67 feces covered items, not including diapers, and 18 syringes."

It even happens at rest stops. "That’s the mystery," Warfield says. "There’s a bathroom right there, there’s also a trash can."

“That makes me think of the roadside on MSR Tampa in Iraq. Convoys stop as little as possible and at the fuel points, there are zillions of water bottles basking in the sun with their lethal contents.”

“WTH.... Sick, just plain sick”

“A Deltona convenience-store employee was suspended after a customer became violently ill upon drinking soda that tests later confirmed had been urinated in.

"He vomited three or four times afterwards," said the victim's attorney, Daniel Newlin, who did not release his client's name in order to protect the man's privacy.

Publix Super Markets spokesman Dwaine Stevens said the accused employee, who works at a Pix Convenience Store in Deltona, has not been back to work since the company learned of the incident this week. An internal investigation is being completed.

Publix, which owns Pix, has not filed a criminal complaint but the option has not been ruled out, Stevens said. The company said the employee admitted urinating in the bottle.

"It was an isolated incident by one associate," he said. "We went back into the store with our suppliers to confirm that there was nothing [else] bothered . . . or violated."

Volusia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Gary Davidson said Tuesday night that he did not know if Publix was doing anything illegal by not reporting the tampering incident.

Newlin said his client, a foreman with a Daytona Beach construction company, became suspicious of the drink after he chugged "a lot" of the beverage last week.

"Imagine a construction worker just grabbing a Mountain Dew and just sucking it down," Newlin said. The man took the soft drink back to the Howland Boulevard store and told the manager of his concerns.

"The manager said, 'Well, jeez, I've had other people return soda before because the soda was bad,' " Newlin said. "And he [the foreman] said, 'I really think it was something else.' "

Testing confirmed that the soda had been urinated in, Newlin said. He said that upon the advice of an infectious-disease doctor, the construction worker was being tested for diseases such as gonorrhea and hepatitis C.

"We're hopeful that the person who did this wasn't carrying any sexual -- or otherwise -- virus that could cause him harm," Newlin said, adding that his client has a wife and two children he wants to protect. "Unfortunately, the doctors were very concerned."

Two other doctors, however, said the chances of contracting a disease from soda contaminated with urine were small unless tests showed signs of infection.

"CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] does not consider urine to be a potentially toxic thing," said Dr. Scott Brady, the senior medical director for Florida Hospital Centra Care. "As gross as it sounds, it [the urine] is not harmful as long as it's not bloody."
