When we lived in Indonesia, where there are no toilets, just holes in the ground, you would have to check for footprints on the seats of western style toilets. It's all a matter of perspective. However, this doesn't mean you western men can leave the seat up! <BR/><BR/>Back on topic, "The Thing" kind of creeps me out.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294206507900224989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-56562349930315604162008-12-18T15:28:00.000-05:002008-12-18T15:28:00.000-05:00There is just nothing--nothing--I can say about th...There is just nothing--nothing--I can say about the "banana guard" that won't be R-rated.

It is the same in many poor homes as well. Thinking that this is the norm, many country boys who move to the city are at a loss about toilet seats.<BR/><BR/>I always found the seat down and wet after one friend would visit. It is an all guy household, so no one closes the door for Number One. One day when I heard the stream I went into the bathroom to see what was with the seat. It was down and he was peeing. I asked why he was putting the seat down to pee. He innocently explained that he thought that the seat was a cover to keep the ceramic clean during Number One, for when folks needed to sit on it for Number Two!<BR/><BR/>My wonderfully sweet friend is now enlightened about toilet seats, but this incident will always be an inside joke whenever we need to keep him humble.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-466446764205568902008-12-18T10:44:00.000-05:002008-12-18T10:44:00.000-05:00No, women don't approach the seat "backwards" - we...No, women don't approach the seat "backwards" - we do it the right way. :~) <BR/><BR/>However, there are those women who do not like to sit on public toilet seats, so they squat high above it, leading some women to leave this graffiti on the wall: "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat."<BR/><BR/>Some women would be helped by the "Automatic Toilet Seat Lifter," too.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-84114829399416392202008-12-18T10:19:00.000-05:002008-12-18T10:19:00.000-05:00Ooooh, oooh, someone can buy me the day clock.

It seems I never am quite sure what day it is and it's an almost perfect match to the regulator clock hanging in my breakfast nook.<BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on the whole toilet seat thing. Do women approach the toilet backwards?<BR/><BR/>Dear Lord, I beseech thee to protect me against the storm that is about to come crashing down on my head.
