We usually call the EPA or National Geographic Society to inquire who has territorial claim.

'wave-friends-off-to-the-sea' i love it
My boss at work claimed he could destinguish between smokers/non-smokers, male/female and meat eaters/veggies by size, smell and texture of any floaters left in the work loo's.

I love this place... it was only recently I was pondering this very subject and wondered if it was too yukky to put in Ask
Two words - "Courtesy Flush" people! I've actually managed to train my better half to do this, and upstairs has been a sweeter smelling place ever since.
The Courtesy Flush (pull the handle as soon as you've evacuated) will start the breaking up process of any floaters. (Obviously any worries about splashback can be dealt with according to the nature of your er, droppings.
The most effective method I've discovered is covering it with more loo roll, leaving some to trail over the edge of the seat so that as the flush sends things round, the stubborn s**t gets ever more tangled in the toilet paper, thus helping it off to sea. HTH.

Apologies to 2legs, I was sure he'd resurrected this one!
Another tip (which may have already been mentioned) is to lay some paper in the pan half out of the water before you use it. Helps prevent sticky residue...

But it *is* a waste of water, Shea.
The solution is to tell him to dump them in the sink, and then rinse them down, which will use far less water. Better, put them in the compost heap.
And now for the topic at hand ...

I dumped in a urinal once due to a misunderstanding. The porters on Dartford railway station seemed stunned.

I can imagine ...
TRiG, I don't think we want a pile of whiskers dumped down the sink. That would clog these old pipes for sure!

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the obvious solution.
Reach in, retrieve the little blighter, and tuck him in your pocket for future disposal, at your leisure.
