When urinating into the toilet bowl

When urinating into the toilet bowl... yours truly (me) could not help but notice while living social at various residences within Montgomery County, Pennsylvania the following described phenomena actually observed quite some time ago maybe back during my carefree boyhood days of yore that the uncontrollable spurt analogous to a golden arch of micturition arcing toward parts unknown (frequently missing the target altogether, and wetting the seat subsequently displeasing the next person more often than not the missus, who sits upon wet porcelain goddess) initially issuing from out my diminutive male member, (even when fully erect, no longer than a small walking stick for a lucky leprechaun), when said jet stream makes splashy contact affecting fountainhead into pissoir, whereby a bathroom tchotchke of Atlas shrugged, which non verbal reaction spoke volumes, the direction water got flushed within potty subsequently clearly described a clockwise pattern whooshing within the labyrinth eventually getting routed to wastewater treatment plant at least here within the bowels of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. Actually even after flushing, or using the sink to wash hands, the water also drained mimicking rotation of second or minute hands of analog time pieces. After finding myself flush with excitement presuming I discovered some great earth shaking revelation, a Google search quickly and immediately chastened premature ejaculation of excitement that yours truly stumbled upon magnificent phenomena and matter of factly explained the direction a toilet flushes, whether clockwise or counterclockwise, primarily determined by the design of the toilet bowl and the water jet's direction, not by the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force), which often mistakenly believed to be the cause; meaning the flush direction can vary even within the same hemisphere due to different toilet designs, not necessarily consistent with the "clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere" myth.
