B: Indiana Urinalysis received a Citation Award from the Indiana Film Society in 1990, as a part of their annual Film & Video Competition. It was later featured on PBS, and it is now in the permanent collections of several major universities, including Indiana University's world-renowned Folklore Institute.

Ironically, on the same day that I got the purchase order for the tape from the Folklore Institute, I also got a rejection letter from the same department. I'd applied to study in their graduate program, but they didn't want me. The timing was a complete coincidence.

I'd paid $40 as an application fee, so I charged them $40 for the tape.

A flautist confesses: "I have heard them being used. Occasionally. Not very often."

You can still find a few freestanding urinals, usually in older buildings.

Brian Jones and Bart Everson (a.k.a. Editor B) provide a narrative context for Indiana Urinalysis at Indiana University's Folklore Institute.
