Regardless of what you might have read in several Canadian newspapers, the signs posted in the men&#039;s room at Vancouver&#039;s Edible Canada bistro are just a joke. Men are not actually forbidden to pee while standing up.

The Seattle Weekly cleared this rumor up today after news of signs started making the rounds. Yes, they feature a figure urinating while standing up with the universal &quot;no&quot; sign symbol -- a circle and a slash.

But owner Eric Pateman said it&#039;s all in good fun.
