Urinal Jokes vs. Winston Churchill

Okay, this isn’t technically a celebrity urinal sighting, it’s just a joke, but it does involve a famous person and some urinals. Is that close enough?

One day, Winston Churchill went to the bathroom and ran into the head of the Labour Party, who was his political opponent. Churchill took the urinal furthest from him. The head of the Labour Party asked Churchill if he was just being modest. Churchill responded, “Not at all. It’s just that whenever you Labourite chaps see something that is large, privately owned and working well, you want to nationalize it.” His rival burst out laughing, and the Labour Party abandoned the nationalization bill it was planning to introduce.

It’s probably a lot funnier if you have a better grasp of British politics than I do!

Just a joke? That’s a true story except that it didn’t change politics one iota. That bit just makes it cheesy anyways.

Since there’s nothing unusual about using the farthest urinal from someone, the story goes that Churchill was already there, then Attlee came in and used the urinal next to Churchill. Churchill abruptly zips up, moves two urinals over, zips back down and starts peeing again. That’s the one I heard….and it’s funnier.
