A Paler Shade of Pee
Weekend Fun Pee Pee Facts!
Did you know the normal bladder can hold 250-500mL of urine?
That is roughly 8-16oz.
Seems reasonable.
Hospital patients' bladders have been known to hold up to 1L of urine.
Damn them and their big bladders!
This is the kicker though, our fellow US citizens coming home from their tours in the Middle East have been found to have bladders that can hold 2L. Ahem, that is 2 f*#&ing liters man!
This is not something that is helpful. It causes problems with the bladders tonicity, which in turn causes it to stretch even more since it can't squeeze the pee out like it used to. These fellows are exactly the types of sorry saps that end up having to be catheterized for life. That is right, my friends, think pee bags velcro'd to legs.
Just a little something to chew on next time you buy that 2L of pop.
