danc Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Well, when you gotta go you gotta go. Case in point. I thought that I was gonna be on the show COPS a couple of years ago in Kansas City. Not a good thing for a Canadian. I was there for the NASCAR race, and after the big event we decided to walk over to the restaurant/bar area which is a mile or so from the track. Half way there I knew that I had to do my business, so my buddy kept walking while I did my thing. Next thing I knew, the grass in front of me was flashing red. Damn. I yelled to my buddy "Is that the COPS?" A voice right behind me advised me that yes, it was indeed the COPS. They were parked about 8 feet behind me. I didn't even hear the car. Yikes. I'm in trouble now. After a stern lecture, and explaining that I was from Canada, the conversation turned light hearted and a few laughs were shared. Good guys they were. Thank God.

jedimaster Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 You may be able to drink in your own yard but you aren't allowed to drink in your own yard while cutting your grass on your riding lawn mower. Peeing? I have never heard of a ticket for that. There was a guy that had a sprinkler system setup outside his business and it turned on if you pee'd in the alley and soaked you.

Moosebunk Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Got hauled into court in 1990 and fined $10 for skateboarding. New by-law that day, the coppers got me first that morning infront of the arcade. All the old lady's ankles were safe in the safe zone from then on out. lol. Bylaws... these above one's are nuts... or maybe just really old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hey... if Bieber can do it in a restaurant and flaunt it on YouTube... then I'd say you're fine with a little tinkle in the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 A number of years ago, my buddy was getting married and the stag was going to be in Niagara Falls New York. We took a bus from Toronto and had many a beverage on the way... the only real challenge we had, no bathroom on the bus. By the time we got to the hotel, there were 25 guys bustin for a pee. The hotel was right beside the American Falls, so we thought it would be a good idea for all of us to have a pee over the falls. Must have been quite the sight having 25 guys leaning up against the rail doing their business, because it didn't take long for the local constabulary to show up. After explaining that we were all part of a stag, they decided not to fine us... it helped that the groom had a bowling ball chained to his leg! We got off with a warning. So, no it is not legal to pee over the falls, but dam it was fun! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshS Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Man this thread cracks me up!!! Solid subject! I'd say go for it as long as you're respectful of neighbours. Peeing outside is way better any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
