It's well known that New Mexico has a serious problem with drunk driving (at one point it became the only state with its own "DWI Czar"). In a move that reeks of desperation shows real innovative thinking, the state is now buying 500 urinal mints, to be placed in men's rooms in bars across the state. These futuristic devices detect the presense of a micturator and play recorded anti-drunk-driving messages to their, er, captive audience (in a female voice that is first flirty, then stern). Yes, flirt with me, talking urinal mint! – Murilee Martin
