Snow at Roosendaal, The NetherlandsI stayed 2-3 days at Roosendaal and went to Poland for another meeting by car. My Dutch colleague drove a big van carrying 8 people for 12 hours with only 1 time stop. He was a very good driver, actually. I couldn't imagine how I should do if I was a driver.
Poland in the morningOn the departure date, I was walking at Schiphol airport and I found something at the toilet.
Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsI noticed a fly inside the urinal. At first, I thought it was because no one cleaned the toilet. But when I saw other urinals, I saw the same. So the flies must be there for some reasons. When I looked more close, the fly turned into the black outline of a fly, etched into the porcelain.
A fly-in-urinal
According to statistics, since the icon of the fly has been in use, it improves the aim. If a man sees a fly, he aims at it. The general hygiene in the toilets has improved by 80%, apart from putting a smile on everyone's faces.
Interesting invention ideas..eh?
I also found some products from the internet ...
We decided to adopt the idea and market the product on a large scale. So far the Toilet Marksman has been greeted with enthusiasm on the belief that it will appeal to customers in all walks of life and age groups as a necessary and fun giving product.
The Toilet Marksman is a special quality sticker with a secret formula cover that gives to the product long term resistance – it won't come off for at least few years !
Absolutely GREAT for pubs, bars, clubs, restaraunts or any other place with men :)
Here's some info from Wikipedia: Some urinals for men incorporate fly targets: images of flies that are either printed on labels stuck to the inside of the urinal or embossed directly into the porcelain. Men often feel a compulsion to aim their urine stream at the fly, and thus the fly target helps prevent men from urinating outside the basin or bowl of the urinal. Maintenance crews at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam reported in 2005 that adding a fly target to urinals reduced bathroom cleaning costs by giving men something to aim at. The urinals at terminal 4 of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City have a fly target in the urinals.
