Urine - a waste to be disposed of or a resource to be utilised?

If urine could be used in fuel cells it seems a brilliant idea as there is a limitless supply of the liquid.
 
I'm curious as to how they would collect all this urine. Would they have a central collection point or each home a hose thing leading to a central area? I'm all for recycling and this could be something to think about.

Apparently urine is a source of carbon that can be used as a catalyst in fuel cells.

I'm wondering what other valuable resources we just dispose of when we could be turning them into valuable products.

Geez Dame, are you telling me I could have a fortune stored up in all those beer-bottles:lofl: Ok, I'll be serious. Actually, getting money for my pee is way better then selling blood:givemebeer:

And just think of the jobs it would create, instead of just a "poo poo plant" we would have "pee pee plants". And the hose factories, wow, their biz would boom too! Lots of possibilities! Let's see, who would corner the market? Hey, the taverns/pubs!! I bet they could come up with a combo of alcohol a pee for fuel now! How bout "filler up with alco-pee regular, or high octane with added Vodka?"

Hard to establish a monopoly though.
I guess the product will always be dirt cheap.

Oh relax, breath, point and shoot!
 
I'm thinking all the jobs it could provide:

New hose, production
more sales on necessary liquids (for "best value" pee)
people to install "home hoses"
Yoga or other experts to help with relaxation, as some may get up tight knowing their income depends on peeing
If the alcohol is a good additive, there goes the booze sales sky high

I tried to get the last drop. But, let me tell you, wringing it out doesn't do the job.

Besides, it hurts like hell.

OH for heaven sake, don't you have a rolling pin? I know those work well on a toothpaste tube! Now go drink some more "whatever". We do need to get the skinny on best "additives" to make the highest quality, it's quality not quantity right?
 
With my enlarged prostate, they would have to be patient. It takes awhile to produce a stream. I can see the signs over the restrooms. Men, Women and Prostate Room.
Prostate room would have TVs over the urinals.

But that brings to mind about the sign in many men's rooms.
"What are you looking up here for? You're peeing on your shoes."

OMG Pappy, I think I need some of what you're having (pills)!! What a riot!! I hope your wife has you on a leash, just to be on the safe side!:pepper:
 
No Denise, I get a lot of confused looks from the little women. Gee, and to think she has put up with this guy for 57 years. I try to keep humor in my life and if I can make someone smile, I've succeeded. Then of course. Some folks think I should grow up and act my age.
