Edward M. Gabriel Urinals




I was intrigued to find this plaque of dedication at a recent visit to Keystone, Colorado.
Thankfully, I've never seen anything quite like it. Inspite of my intrigue at the naming of the urinals, I made good use the Edward M. Gabriel Urinials (actually, I only used one of them). But as the mind wanders, I couldn't help but wonder (I wonder as I wander..) if Ed had 'pissed' somebody off...to earn this dedication in his name.

And I wondered what the dedication ceremony was like. I'm picturing praise raining down...or at least something raining down.

And then I ponder of the commercial opportunity. With all the money paid for "naming rights" in this country for sports stadiums, etc... for the more budget challenged...maybe they could just pay for the naming rights to a urinal or two...or maybe a porta-pottie.

My thought for the day.
