Women should leave the seat UP for us!

ok then

If 'honeymoon syndrome' was fatal, there would be a lot more toilet seats left up in the world.

....and abstaining from sex....

For reasons that Linkat mentioned, I have both the seat and the lid down before flushing. Flushing creates aerosols. Bacterial organisms in the toilet bowl become part of those aerosols that land here there and everywhere in the bathroom. That's why my ideal house would have a separate little room for the toilet. Like houses of old in England. And likely other European countries too.

One other little tid bit to mull over....if you ever dry your hands with those air dryers in public restrooms, just think of all the bacteria that are landing on your hands! The air intake for those things includes the aforementioned aerosols.

You need one of those tankless commercial toilets. I think the water pressure keeps the bowl cleaner too. If you don't like the look of it they make them with dummy tanks that you can put over the plumbing.

thanks for the tip.
will have to look into that eventually... we bought the stubborn thing in '95 -- not ready to chuck it just yet.

Thanks caprice I just washed my hands and dried them too! Actually I never liked the dryers; dries out your hands too much.

Just ran across this. An artsy, practical solution IMO.



The Johnny Light

Hey, just think what would show up with a black light...

eek! Like those investigative reporters who have gone into hotel rooms with black lights Some things you just really don't want to know.

Are you sure that just isn't too much asparagus in your diet?
