Your Toilet Buddy (Book)

Button · Mar 13, 2011

Come on. I know you have at least one in there.

Name the book sitting by your pooper collector right now.

I know a lady who keeps her Bible in there.

Right now I've just switched out "Anne of the Island" with "The Looking Glass Wars".

I'll take a second in there if I want some sort of choice when I go on.

So what's your poopin' pal? (Book)

I honestly don't have any books in my bathroom. Not even any magazines.

I'm of the mind that if it's taking me more than about 5 minutes to do my business, then I may as well just give up and try again later. I'm never in the bathroom for very long, consequently, and so I don't bother with things to keep me occupied.

*shrug*

In some places, it's the only five quiet minutes you'll have to yourself, so you'll stretch it out...

Caitlin Black · Mar 13, 2011

Yeah, I suppose...

But then, I don't ever plan on having children, and if I do eventually have a wife and she can't let me read a book for an hour or so occasionally, then that's not the wife for me.

I don't think I'll ever have to rely on toilet reading.

We're Speedy Poopers around here, too. No books, magazines, games, letters, laptops... nada. Of course, other than each other and the cats, we don't have a soul around to bother us... so we can find peace and quiet outside the crapper.

Caitlin Black · Mar 13, 2011

Y'know, I've never understood how you could read a book AND wipe at the same time...

*confuzzled*

Unless, of course, it was the Sears Catalog...

Caitlin Black · Mar 13, 2011

We don't have Sears down here. Although I do understand that the Sears catalogue is supposed to be mildly erotic if you're desperate and in a jam...

I find the whole idea gross. I can't imagine how many disgusting germs are crawling all over that book. I respect my reading material too much to do that to it.

Besides, I'm never in there long enough to get that bored that I need reading material.

This reminds me of a episode of Seinfeld when George couldn't return a book because he had taken it into the bathroom.

I have Crohn's disease, so I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. It starts with the daily newspaper - front page, then local, then the "fyi"/random fluff section. If I finish the paper (or if I read it elsewhere that day), it's currently Beginner's Guide to Korean

Button · Mar 13, 2011

Dude, I don't reach in and fondle the poop before I pick up my book. I sit down, pick up the book, put the book back on it's perch and then do my wiping business.

That was TMI.

I thought I should warn people.

Anyway, yeah I know I'm not the only one.

The Cajun has Crohn's. He's got a few books tucked away in his bathroom but I don't know which one he's reading right now. He'll hang on to the tech gadget catalogues, too.
