Jonmc and his Jug Band. [More:]Remember my kidney stone misadventures 3 years ago? Well, pips went all mother hen on my ass and had me go back to the urologist. I got x-rayed and there's no new stones, but he wants me to collect all my pee in a jug for 24 hours (maintaining my usual diet in the process). I can picture the conversation. "Your barley and hops is high, sir."

Thankfully, the delivery of the jug of pee is done by mail. The idea of riding the subway with a pitcher full of wee-wee was a concern. Although, with the random bag searches in this city, it could make for interesting moments.
THAT'S NOT LEMONADE!

You should distill it first.

It's a good thing (or a bad thing depending how you look at it, or smell it) you don't have to put your pee on ice. Often, depending on the test, we had to do this in the hospital for 24 urines. Big jugs o' pee and catheter bags on ice.

Glad you didn't have any new stones, jonmc.

That's gonna be a heavy jug to mail. Cool on the no stones. You could send it with a garnish.

Yeah, luckily you just have to shake it vigorously and pour a small amount into a sample vial to mail. I'm looking forward to the shaking.

We should all save our urine, we'll need the nitrates to make explosives if we hope to defeat the zombies.
