Talking Urinal Cakes
In an effort to keep drunk drivers off the road, the State Department of Transportation in New Mexico has turned to talking urinals. It bought 500 deodorizer cakes to put in the urinals in bars across the state.
When a man approaches, a motion detector sets off a recorded woman's voice hidden in the little round cakes, which says: Hey, big guy. Having a few drinks? Think you had one too many? Then it's time to call a sober friend for a ride home."
The surprise of a female voice rising from the porcelain might be enough to sober up some drinkers. But the message ends with even more sobering words, "Remember," it says, "your future is in your hand."
