Well, we’d already done apostrophes. Plus delirium has forced me to succumb to the lures of pointless online quizzes. Good for morale though.
Your Score: Semicolon
You scored 15% Sociability and 64% Sophistication!
Congratulations! You are the semicolon! You are the highest expression of punctuation; no one has more of a right to be proud. In the hands of a master, you will purr, sneering at commas, dismissing periods as beneath your contempt. You separate and connect at the same time, and no one does it better. The novice will find you difficult to come to terms with, but you need no one. You are secure in your elegance, knowing that you, and only you, have the power to mark the skill or incompetence of the craftsman.
You have no natural enemies; all fear you.
And never, NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot appear in dialogue!

According to Shewee, this is:
A molded plastic funnel that provides women with a simple, private and hygienic method of urinating without removing clothes whilst standing AND sitting.
When positioned securely under the crotch, and with underwear pushed to the side, Shewee directs urine away from the body to a suitable place, such as a toilet, a container or a conveniently located tree!
No more crossed legs or uncomfortable squatting.Maintain your privacy and banish bare bottoms!
Stand up at public toilets to avoid unhygienic seats and smelly portable loos.
Hike/climb/ski/jog off the beaten track, miles from the nearest toilet.
Travel the world with the comfort of home in your pocket.
What they DON’T tell you is HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PEE STANDING UP. So here we are, in the shower experimenting with new gadget, bellowing at Him about HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PEE STANDING UP, while Him is peeing himself laughing outside because everyone in the conference accommodation block with wafer-thin walls probably now knows that I’m peeing in my shower with my brilliant Shewee.
I’m all empowered now though. I can pee like a man. I will conquer the world. (Just got to make sure you hold said Shewee tightly enough against your delicate bits though, otherwise you’ll be conquering the world with mystery stains down the inside of your trouser legs.)
