When you gotta go

A group of guys on parole in Texas have been caught using a prosthetic penis to take drug tests. (Rio Ferdinand could have used one)
This thing retails for $150, mixs water with dehydrated urine and comes with a heat pack to get the right temperature.

Great, but what possible other use could the company making it have had for it other than for what these ex-cons did.
The owner says its for people to use in their own privacy. Maybe I don’t get out enough but I can’t think of a reason to put one on my Christmas list.

Of COURSE the kits are to beat drug tests. The USA has gotten very weird about drug tests as a prior condition of employment. It’s one thing to require a drug test before hiring, say, a coach driver, but here in the USA the majority of the jobs require them now.

The joke is that “soft” drugs (such as marijuana) stay in your system for about a month, whereas “hard” drugs (such as coke or speed) are eliminated within a few days.

It is very likely that a crank head will be hired, while someone who takes a toke before a cricket match would fail.

George Orwell was right.

Always knew there was something going on with those cricketers.

Ingrid, where’s the list of Balinese blogs on your site?

To check out the field just do a Google search under ‘Bali blog’ and see what the greatest information tool of our era can offer.
