heard tell of an old county that was a regular in the workshop with seized brakes nobody could figure out why or what the encrusting round the pedal linkage was until they found out the driver never got out for a piss

I understand that squaddies in WW2 were instructed to piss on each other's bits after a visit to a house of ill repute to reduce the risk of STDs. Again, relates to the antiseptic properties I guess.

 

We had some builders that were heavy drinkers working on our house; they used to go for a wazz at the back of our garage - we noticed that after a few months, they killed the grass and nettles, but a couple of years later growth came back greener than ever. I assume it was a large amount of urea initially, which after being broken down by the soil left a nitrate rich environment.

I was up at Beamish Museum yesterday (oh the glory of having kids) and in one of the houses they were cleaning the brass......which according to the polishers used to be done with a mixture of wood ash, piss and something else which I can't remember.

I thought they were told to piss afterwards to "wash out" their own bits, not to piss on each other's!! Whatever works I suppose!

In Scotland it's filtered out from the sewers by a secret method, bottled up and called Tennants.
