well, it made *me* laugh

[livejournal.com profile] xtingu commented in a thread elsewhere to the effect that you can't even use toilets without being advertised to. During a rugby tournament earlier this year, I snapped the attached picture in a pub toilet
In case you don't get the reference, it's pretty much the standard way any rugby player will line up for a kick (penalty or conversion)

And a soccer one

No picture, I'm afraid, just a description and bad art.

Spotted a few years ago in Schipol airport when some big soccer competition was on (could it have been Euro 2000?). Went for a piss in the airport. The plastic screen, designed to prevent cigarette butts getting into the plumbing, that they put into urinals were specially modified for the occassion. (See http://www.wemakescents.com/flat_urinal_screen.jpg for an unmodified version of what I'm talking about).

The modification consisted of a plastic arm extending upwards in the unrinal, from the back of the screen, looping in the air and coimg down to a point in, well, mid air. And the end of this arm had a round piece of plastic shaped like a football. A poor rendition can be seen here: http://gaire.com/db-images/27905789_screenmodified.jpg

Of course, the "ball" bobbled around when it got hit.
