^ Is this supposed to be funny? Coyotes with magnets?

Reminds me of the møøse theme in the credits for Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Yes, it's funny! Think of the Road Runner and Wiley Coyote! i.e., "Coyote carrying box marked "ACME", etc....

This only works with American English pronunciation of "urine".

Wait - it’s pronounced differently elsewhere?

There’s a Broadway musical from 2002ish called Urinetown. Now I’m interested in where that title wouldn’t work.

I should have said "modern English". It won't work in Shakespearean (Elizabethan) English where it's pronounced with a long i sound.

That sign should pretty much guarantee that someone will soon let him in.

Yeah and they’ll make us all pronounce it “sore-ey” too.

I will welcome our northern overlords as I become a citizen of South Canada, but only if the Arctic weather stays in North Canada. Otherwise count me out. My thin Mediterranean blood doesn't like the cold.
