Not to take away from the brilliance of this, but is it actually a good idea to encourage people to pee <i>as hard as possible</i> each time they use the restroom?

Combine this with customer RFID tags and an hourly free drink for the strongest/biggest pee-er in a club, + optionally a public score-board, and sales might skyrocket...<p>Interesting concept, and it might work better than salted peanuts...

I saw a small football on a line and a goal (to which the ball could be pushed) in a couple of bars. I guess this is the next step

As an added twist to the title, "sega" is slang in Italian for masturbation.

Me and friends used to play that game. When we were 8 years old.
