Is That A Urinal In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy To Pee Me?

Back in my days as an investigator, nothing was more tedious than surveillance, especially if it meant many hours in a car, watching and waiting for something that in all likelihood wasn't going to happen until the three minutes when you really had to pee.

It's pretty well known that the simple answer to this predicament was to keep an empty 2-liter soda bottle with you, so if the call of nature came, you could answer without needing to leave the car and miss the very thing you had been sitting there to capture.

It's not a glamorous solution, but then, we can't all be Mickey Spillane or Magnum PI, who could apparently drink like a fish without ever needing to whiz. They never ran out of ammo, either.

Today's detectives have a snazzy alternative - the pocket urinal. The TravelJohn allows you to pee into a handy bag that turns your whiz into a manageable gel that you can leave under the car or throw into the bushes, unless you want to drive around with it all day.

No word on whether a similar product exists in the event you need to drop a deuce. I would think there are logistical obstacles that might render a similar TravelSaddle less of a top seller.
