Urination Sightings

It’s hard to find a way to approach this. So I guess, I’ll just dive right in.
Is it my imagination or are men just pulling it out of their pants and letting it fly wherever and whenever they want?
Yesterday, we were on our way to the golf course. We were heading to a country course and using a busy by-pass connecting two major cities.
And there they were - a father with two young sons perhaps 5 and 3 years old. Their truck was parked leaning sidewise just off the highway. The sons were both relieving themselves. The father was watching them with a half smile and an unmistakable posture of satisfaction. The boys were not behind the truck so as to be out of sight of passing traffic. Their backs were not to us so that we might not be sure what they were doing. No, they were almost putting on a show. Just a block away was a little turn-off surrounded by trees. We had often seen cars and trucks parked there and wondered if it were a picnic area. How easy it would have been, how sensible it would have been, for the father to drive that short block!
Or was this some sort of “how to” lesson?
This is not an isolated occurrence by any means. More and more I have noticed males doing this. It happened again just now on our way home. This happens not only on highways. But in parks, on golf courses, in parking lots. It's becoming quite the “in” thing. Has anyone else noticed this?
Does this come under the “instant gratification” malady that spawned the recession? The whole “entitlement” thing? Could be.
Oh well – at least we don’t have to worry about women doing it.
