Subject: A Sobering Thought

Written By: Steve_H on 04/01/03 at 04:52 p.m.

Okay... as I was lugging home yet another sack of processed absorbent clay, I starting doing some math (not my long suit but I think I got it right.)

The cat's 20-years-old, more or less.  Ten pounds of litter a week for 52 weeks a years...

This cat has used FIVE TONS of kitty litter in her lifetime  :o :o :o

I was lugging home a family pack of charmenge and did a little calculating of my own.

Plus, women have an unfair disadvantage...we have to use it EVERY time, whereas men just use their underwear, hence the enormous amount of skid marks ;D

I have a cat.

I used to have three cats.

I used to be married.

Between the three, washing my ex's undies grossed me out much, much more than cleaning up after three cats.  It's the skid mark thing again.

Most (but not all) women need to use more TP because of the major, major difference in the way the plumbing is arranged.  Those women who are lucky enough not to need to use a lot of paper must be compensating by, er, "hovering" or "using an interesting position". Washing hands afterwards has nothing to do with what you are using the TP for (and shouldn't).

BTW, everyone should wash their hands afterwards every single time.  Whether you think you need to or not.  Germs are invisible!

Right you are! I have never understood people who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, but I see it all the time. Just this morning I was in the bathroom washing my hands, when a co-worker emerged from a stall and proceeded out of the bathroom without a care in the world.  ::)

Well, with scoopable kitty litter catching on everywhere we fellows are bound to fall further and further behind...

And big-time YES to washing your hands.  I mean, half the public health officials will recommend using a paper towel to open the door of a public restroom when you leave (why don't public restroom doors open OUT so you could hip-check them open?)
And please, when in public, use a hankerchief or kleenex or at least cover when you sneeze or cough.  It's gotta to the point where I'm about ready to carry a can of Lysol on a hip holster.

Uh-uh.

I don't trust how good other people's hygiene might be on that one. Heck, people need to wash their hands after using the bathroom, so a piece of string right in contact with... uh-uh, I can't... they must shower or else not use the restroom at all.

It's impossible not to think about it since a lot of females use them... except the ones I've dated. Hahaha.

Isn't both seat AND lid down the fairest way to do it?  That way, both men and women have to lower and raise it.  Beside, it keeps the dogs and cats out of a potentially fascinating water bowl  ;D

Lordy, Lordy,  potty talk, potty talk.  How An@l... I won't go there  ;D
But seriously, at work we have a co-ed room without a lid, just a seat.  Why should the guys be expected to put the seat DOWN after using it?  More than half the people who use it are men.  So I always leave it up (they should be glad I don't take target practice and leave it down).  Is this unreasonable?  The women think so, and have posted signs on the wall (NOT "for a good time call...") which I ignore.  What do you think, especially considering gender equality?

"Venus envy"?  Frued would love this!  But how can I count the ways?  My best guess is that both genders envy some things about the other.  Should we move  this thread in a different direction?  I'll start.  My X nursed all four of my kids, and I offered each one my own (skinny) breast.  All four, almost exactly the same, and several times between 1 and maybe 4 weeks, looked up at me as if to say "thanks, turkey, but you got to be kidding".  I envy women's power to sustain the lives of those "little ones" who are so precious.
