E-Z Pee

There is a problem with public restrooms, particularly with "Rest Areas" where you pull over from the freeway with the knowledge that you're going to have to pee in an hour but the next bathroom is an hour and a half away. Or, for the menfolk at least (I can't vouch for the ladies) you are standing at a urinal and there's a long line of menacing roadies for Merl Haggert or something standing right behind you clearing their throat and boring holes into the back of your neck with their piggy little eyes. Either way, it would be best for all concerned if you could let rip right then and then be on your way, but instead you sit there in what is most likely a very smelly location far longer than you can hold your breath.

My solution is a little hand bowl mounted within easy reach of the porcelain fixture in question which recirculates filtered, disinfected and lightly scented warm water. You dip your hand in the little bowl, and you will get the almost- uncontrollable urge to pee whether you have to go or not! As an added bonus, the sanitizing properties of the E-Z Pee will also provide for the flush hand being sanitary, reducing the "flush with the foot because I don't know where the handle has been" reaction that you sometimes get in public bathrooms. Finally, the scent of the bathroom would be much improved by a faint hint of Lavender, Vanilla, or Sage. Maybe it could supplant the sink as well, who knows.

In terms of making it cost effective for more institutional bathrooms, I suppose that the water could come from the tap and be heated on the roof via solar heaters and used to help flush the toilet each time so as to provide fresh water to each user, thereby saving on filtering and scents, but I think the sanitized version would work better as it would probably use a lot less energy for heating.
