The Toilet Seat

After the recent internet farce created by a teenager in Singapore recently that actually elicited a mention in Wikipedia, I sincerely think that some frivolity might be in order.

I've thought about this for a while. However, I have yet to come to a conclusion as to what the answer might be. The question? "Should the toilet seat be left up or down?"

I always figured that this was an unreasonable demand that women made on men. I think it really depends. Either way, one can pick a fight.

From the man's perspective, I thought the seat should be up. This way, there won't be any issues regarding aiming and no mopping up required. I think women would prefer that too, no? But there's also a mental picture of women wandering groggily into the toilet and sitting directly onto a freezing cold china bowl, especially in winter. So we should leave the seat down. So that basically means that the man should be doing all the work.

I said this was frivolous, didn't I? Imagine my surprise when I actually found these studies that were done, "The Troublesome Toilet Seat: Up or Down? Three Schemes" and "A Game Theoretic Approach to the Toilet Seat Problem". I'm sure there are plenty more where those came from. I couldn't believe it. It's brilliant!

OK, does that angel fish look strangely suggestive, or is it just me?

A true story: This guy gets home after a night of drinking and needs badly to take a leak. He goes to toilet and starts to relieve himself. He looks up at the skylight and sees that it has started to rain. Oh *&#^! It's actually the reflection of him pissing onto the toilet seat cover.
