New Mexico introduces talking urinals
RIO RANCHO, New Mexico (AP) — New Mexico is hoping to keep drunks off the road by lecturing them at the last place they usually stop before getting behind the wheel: the urinal.

The state recently paid $21 US each for about 500 talking urinal-deodorizer cakes and put them in men’s rooms in bars and restaurants.

When a man steps up, the motion-sensitive plastic device says, in a woman’s voice that is flirty, then stern: “Hey, big guy. Having a few drinks? Think you had one too many? Then it’s time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home.”
