Am I jumping to conclusions here? Am I convicting the guy without due process? Of course there are scenarios. He could have set the bottle on the urinal while playing with\u2026 while urinating and it slid off and fell directly into the urinal shattering the bliss. Possible. But then a \u201cgood\u201d guy would have notified one of the bartender ladies. Which didn\u2019t happen, because someone else notified one of the gals and she went in with a broom and dustpan to clean it up. She came out saying \u201cWell, you didn\u2019t tell me it was IN the urinal!\u201d <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kevinlieder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/wpid-IMG_1224-2014-04-27-11-39.jpg\" alt=\"wpid-IMG_1224-2014-04-27-11-39.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the conclusion here?
