I was going to add that there is an exception to that law for older men. The prostate tends to enlarge.
People with enlarged prostates were not part of this survey. Enlarged prostates tend to block urination so that the bladder has not been emptied when your first attempt ends. Wait 30 seconds to a minute or two and you then have to urinate again to empty it the rest of the way. Just goes to show that God's got a sense of humor.
I remember 75 years ago when I went to the movies on a Saturday afternoon, they had an intermission between movies. In the men's room everyone lined up to pee. I can remember standing at a urinal next to a man who was peeing for a long time and wishing that I could take that long to pee. Now I'm the guy standing next to the kid and wishing I could take that long to pee.

The only way I could write my name is if I was named Dot. And then I’d shorten it to “.”

Yes, I would be a dead "sitting duck" in the wild, it might take me a minute or three!

Not a law… rather a fact of life.

When I write my name in the snow it’s always in the wife’s handwriting.😹

No problems, but I go every three years.

Writing is one thing, but try printing.
You can probably find all sorts of clever snow-writing online. Some people have a lot of time on their hands.

Great bands to run for.

I am not real convinced by a study that uses a mechanical model of a biological system. The urinary tract of animals is mucus membrane (skin) and muscles, not pipes and gravity flow. Also human males are not the only mammals to have prostates. Many mammals do. My senior dogs both male and female have issues urinating. Not sure if my boy hound takes longer to pee now do to an enlarged prostate or just weaker urinary bladder muscles. I sure wish my girl would take longer than 21 seconds, and start and stop because she now pees in the house too often! - Biologist chiming in.
