A postman threw what looked like a piss-filled glove right in front of us on the street yesterday.
We were rounding the corner of 5th ave and Union and passing right by a parked USPS truck. The postman inside tossed a blue glove out the door onto the asphalt, and we glanced over to see a yellow liquid pouring out.
We quickly snagged a cameraphone shot of the mess, and one of the truck as it sped away.
Not content with mere visuals, we knelt and dipped our finger tips in the liquid. Raising them to our nose, they didn’t smell like urine. We have some minor allergies going on, but not all urine emits a strong odor. Results inconclusive.
Full-size pics, inside…
We don’t begrudge the postman his right to relieve himself in this inventive fashion, but at least throw it in the trash. — BEN POPKEN

(dips finger and tastes)
“iocaine powder, i’d bet my life on it”
just because it didn’t reek of asparagus doesn’t mean it wasn’t piss.
in a related topic… my next door neighbor has a swimming pool and has, in the past, drained the whole thing thus killing every plant in my yard.
the other day i noticed a copius amount of water coming up out of the cracks in the sidewalk and out the drain pipe that runs under the “yard.”
here we go again i thought.
i leaned down, dipped my fingers in it and raised it to my nose expecting to smell chlorine. only after i did this did i realize that there had been a rat living in the drain and upon closer inspection i noticed that the puddle i had just dipped my fingers in had roughly 2 dozen giant rat turds floating in it. but no chlorine which, at that point, would have been a god-send. i’m never touching mystery moisture again!
@paulinsanjuan: I was thinking the same thing.
