Let's say you're using a public
 

restroom and going number two. You see a newspaper on the floor, maybe that days WSJ, NYT or local paper. Do you pick it up and start reading?

If you're a germ freak, no. You slide it over to you with your foot and use good footwork to read it while it's on the floor.

If you're not a germ freak, pick it up and read it. You can always wash your hands twice if you're concerned about germs, but not too concerned about picking it up.

So that's what Larry Craig was up to.

:D

I hadn't thought about that. I guess one would need to be careful, eh?

For the record, I'm not a germ freak.

But if you were in the master bathroom at my house, you wouldn't need a paper because this is the view out the window when sitting:

If it's on the floor, no. I'll read it but I won't touch it. If it is sitting on top of the tp dispenser, it is safe to touch.

Were you mid-log when you took that?

No, I didn't need to do the business when I took that shot. My cousin who lives in Manhattan sent me a photo of the view from her place was like, so I decided to remind her that while a view down 53rd street is very cool, she didn't get to look at this when nature called.

Talk about inspiration, eh? I'm considering a customized toilet that will play the National Anthem when you sit down. That would be cool.

I imagine you have great potential for regularity.

Yep. No need for Metamucil at my house.
