This is a very silly question, I know - but it is burning in my mind. :)
That little plastic pot that we put in the toilet to measure urine is called a hat - does anybody know why?

Isn't there some old and sarcastic expression that says, "Go piss in your hat." I think it is disrespectfully to ask an older PT, or anyone, to piss in a hat. Plus, since the Disposable Urine Collection Pan is in a semi-circular shape in order to read the cc's, no one could wear it unless their head was a semi-circle. I'm sorry :-(
