Bathroom Reading Material

We didn't have reading material in the bathroom when I was growing up. With eleven people living in a one bathroom house... Tying up the bathroom was a hanging offense. The truly desperate made a mad dash to the outhouse out back. I'm not sure which was worse; dropping my drawers in the summer and offering a succulent target for the mosquitoes, or the ring of frostbite I was bound to get in the winter. As a child, hovering never occured to me.

There are some things that I'm willing to read in the bathroom that wouldn't be proper elsewhere. Purple jokes and smart-ass remarks are not as offensive when read with the door locked and the fan on. Even trumpeting is acceptable. The only nose you're insulting is your own.

Just remember, if you pick up a novel en route to the toilettes you might want to pick up a can of air freshener as well. You'll be sitting there for a while.

There are a lot of people in this world that don't like to read, even in the bathroom. You could use the time to make tissue paper posies...
