What's that you say?

New Mexico is hoping to keep drunks off the road by lecturing them at the last place they usually stop before getting behind the wheel: the urinal.

The state recently paid $21 each for about 500 talking urinal deodorizer cakes and has put them in men's rooms in bars and restaurants across the state.

When a man steps up, the motion-sensitive plastic device says, in a woman's voice that is flirty, then stern: "Hey, big guy. Having a few drinks? Think you had one too many? Then it's time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home."

Are you serious? A talking urinal? Well, if it gets some drunkard off the roads because he just had a religious experience because he heard a voice from the urinal, so be it.

I just hope nobody finds a shark to wrestle...
