question about bathroom readers

Jun 26, 2006 | Filed in Humor | 9 Comments

Okay, let me preface by saying I’m baffled by (straight men) people who read on the toilet. Is it a sign of constipation? Dropping chocolate only takes me a few minutes. I go to the bathroom, I get the job done, and I’m out of there.

But a lot of (straight men) people bring a magazine with them and turn it into a recreational activity. So, fine…I get it.

My question is about the rules of hygiene. What do you do with the magazine while you’re wiping? After you’re done, do you carry the magazine with the same hand you wiped with, or do you turn it over to the assumed cleaner hand?

I’m uncomfortable with the whole bathroom reading anyway, but I’m more uncomfortable with that small window of time between wiping your business and washing your hands. There is a window of opportunity for the magazine to be infested with microscopic bits of waste material.

So what are the rules of bathroom reading? Anyone?
