The world is their urinal...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concessionaire employees have been fired after they were caught urinating into the iconic Old Faithful geyser.

The geyser was not erupting at the time.

The Old Faithful geyser was unaffected by the incident.

I have to ask... Was that last sentence really necessary - or are there actually people out there who are dense enough to believe you can affect a geyser by peeing in it?
Sheesh.

I'm gonna guess that they were doing more than just peeing. I bet they thought if the geyser erupted.... or vice-versa.
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!
going for steamed rocky mountain oysters?
They got fired, for peeing, in a geyser?
Who ratted them out? Or did they do DNA testing to catch the perps?
There is a 24-7 webcam of the geyser ('cause there's nothing more exciting than pulling up a live video feed of a geographic feature). And someone was watching.
Their Darwin Award Application was denied at this time...
But put them down for "likely to be accepted next time" on your card.
They were probably fired because walking up to an active geyser is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. I don't think it matters that they peed in the geyser. What matters is that all employees at Yellowstone are briefed about how dangeroud hot springs and geysers are, and these chimps managed to ignore that.
They were fired, in my opinion, for a blatant safety violation; something we in the construction industry use as cause to fire people all the time. In this age of employer liability (ie, no matter how stupidthe employee was int he act that got him hurt, it is still your finiancial responsibility) you simply can't afford to keep idiots like these dolts around. They could have fallen through the eggshell thin crust of dirt that surrounds these features, into boiling hot mineral water below, and been horribly burned, or even killed.
It happens all the time!
And the employer would get sued for it.
You have to fire them. HAVE to.
