When inebriated, some human males experience diffculties in directing their output into the correct receptacle.

This means that extensive and unpleasant domestic cleanup may be subsequently required (thank heaven for servants).

Alternatively, those who wish to address the problem directly may wish to invest in a personal targeting laser. Painlessly and discreetly implanted in an appropriate anatomical location, the bion-type unit emits a highly visible beam of laser light when triggered by an RF transmitter linked to the trouser zipper, allowing a more effective aim.

As a bonus, if the zipper is not returned to the closed position after a pre-set interval, pre-recorded messages are played to the wearer of the trousers such as, "It's Nice Out Today", "You're Flying At Half Mast, Old Boy", "You Have A Costume Malfuction", or "The Gate Is Open, But The Beast Is Asleep."

I think the trouble is that we are all aiming in the right direction, but somehow those inanimate objects move just enough to get out of the way.

The last bit is fine. The first bit can be avoided by getting them to sit down. Maybe lower the height of the ceiling?

// getting them to sit down //

Sit down ? We think not. Sit down ... fall asleep ... fall off seat ... bang head on wall... chuck up. So in addition to the urine, there's now blood and vomit to be cleaned up.

unless the laser compensated for bladder pressure, range, altitude, blood alcohol level..

maybe a laser that radiates out from the urinal offering the right trajectory.

OK then, how about squatting? The toothpaste tube approach.

lol if you're that inept then just used to sitting on the can like a woman

With practice, the ladies can aim forewards with the best of them. Plenty of photographic proof on the net - you'll have to do your own googling though, 'cos I'm not.

How about a down-scaled version of the system that guides the planes down onto a carrier landing?? Lasers, audio feedback, holographic projectios, etc. Now that would be a smart toilet to shame a Tokyo hotel room.

<Obligatory Title Misunderstanding>I thought this was going to be a laser that targeted itself on urine - maybe by being tuned to the frequency of urea molecules or something. Might have been handy for the clearing up that this idea is supposed to alleviate.</OTM>

Ah, [8th], you don't fool me. First you entice us with laser-enhanced mantackle, the next thing you know we're half-machine from head to foot and our surplus organs are on ice and en route to the highest bidder.

I'm on to you, my bio-mechanical friend.
