WINNIPEG — Winnipeg's male hockey fans want a faster way to answer the call of nature.
They've started an online petition calling on the MTS Centre to replace the modern single urinals with old-fashioned troughs.
The petitioners say most of the 15,000 hockey fans at games are beer-drinking men who need the bathroom at least once.
They complain male fans have to spend too long in between hockey periods to pee and risk missing some of the action.
The fans say replacing urinals with a trough would mean 10 guys could relieve themselves at a time instead of just four.
At least one petitioner grumbled the current setup means men are being forced to line up "forever" just like women.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
