Woz Really Does Everything On His Segway
Posted by John Mahoney at 1:45 AM on November 22, 2008
The balance, the precision aiming. The man: Woz takes a piss on his Segway. If this is Photoshopped (or the world's most convincing Woz lookalike), there truly is no God. [Macenstein] UPDATE: Woz confirms in the comments!
From the man himself:
not photoshopped...it was years ago...some wild eyed guy was blurting out questions at a Shoreline Amphitheater concert and he asked if I went to the urinal on my Segway. What would you say? I answered "yes." Always say "yes" when someone is excited with a weird or impossible question. Then this guy asked how I did it. I was stalling to think of some funny reply when he asked if I stood on it backwards and held the handlebar so I said "yes" again.
Then I went into the urinal and set up the photo with friends. I posted it myself on urinal.net.
Later that night I showed the photo to a friend and told him how I turned the Seway backwards because of splash from the Segway stick. I then rubbed the stick and commented that it was still a bit sticky and asked him to rub it too but he would have nothing to do with that.
It was a fun evening!

I'm of the opinion that short of the Messianic second coming, there's nothing ever worth using a camera at a public men's room urinal for. Poor decision.

WHY?!
Why would Woz take a leak while on a Segway?
Why would Woz go through the trouble of bringing the Segway into a men's room with him just to take a leak.
Why would Woz let himself get photographed taking a leak while on a Segway?
Why, if this is not Woz, would anyone want to look like Woz?
Why, if this is not a real photograph, would anyone want to make a fake photograph of Woz taking a leak while on a Segway?
Why would anyone publicize a photo, real or fake, or Woz taking a leak on a Segway?
WHY?!
OMG! Ponies!

Also, why is there a second person in there on a segway? And did the person taking the picture yell to him to get his attention? That's just creepy. I'm pretty sure they'd find a reason to arrest you for this (taking the picture that is).

Why is there one flush handle? Does one guy have to flush for everyone else? Must you nervously reach across others to flush your urinal? Did I use too many words like "reach" and "handle" in a comment about urinals?

So if he leans forward in the slightest, doesn't he do a faceplant into the wall??? And if he leans backward...then he's pissing all over the place...such a precarious situation...

Two reasons:

@OMG! Ponies!: Well if he's able to back up his Segway and turn himself around on it to wizz without falling over then I say good for him.
I imagined Dubya trying to do this and all I could picture was him falling head over heels and doing a faceplant into the urinal while Cheney and the Secret Service guys stood around snickering....

Posted 5:59 AM 22/11/08
Aside from the disturbing nature of the photo, this has to be really old because that Segway is the original i67 model which is like 5 years old. I'm pretty sure he would have upgraded to one of the newer i2/ x2 models by now. Plus, it would appear that there is another Segway owner in the bathroom with him, so this may have been taken at a polo match or "Segfest" gathering.
Now, as a Segway owner, I can attest that while it may not be difficult to accomplish this feat, I would say that it would be more effort than simply getting off of the thing and leaning it up against a wall before relieving oneself.
Then again, we're talking about Woz here....

what I'd PAY to see is someone taking a dump while actually going somewhere on a segway - that'd be f$#@ing hilarious dude! laying a duke down on the sidewalk, it'd run for 100 feet if you'd eaten 3 mexican burritos the night before! oh, the horror, the horror, the horror, the horror .....
