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.

I hadn't thought about that. I guess one would need to be careful, eh? For the record, I'm not a germ freak.

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.

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.

Yep. No need for Metamucil at my house.
