Yeah. But we're talking about basic hygiene here, not kleenex-box shoes and oxygen chamber bedrooms.
Are you opposed to hand-washing too?

that still doesn't explain why you are willing to brush your teeth with Jim's piss vapor.

Jinx, I'm just merely pointing out that the vapor can still pass through any small opening. I'm sure that putting the toilet seat down helps, but how much in the end?

And for the record, I wash my hands regularly, particularly after handling raw food or using the restroom.

you might be onto something here....as far as i know, jinx has never had athletes foot in her mouth.

Huh? You lost me. SOP here is that the toilet seat and lid are put down and the toilet is flushed after use.

But the high pressure jet of Jim pee shooting into the toilet doesn't spread piss vapor as far as the low pressure swirling of the flush?

It helps enough to give me peace of mind. The vapor that might sneak out the side is unlikely to then blast upwards and over to the toothbrush stand. If it does - well shit, I tried. Like I said, basic hygiene here, not heroic measures.

I guess it depends on how far the pee-shooter is from the target eh? LJim is tall, but he's still shooting from close range, if ya know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge...

Now that is just mean. Funny, but mean.

yeah, careful, that water is COLD....and deep!

Ummm...I think it was meant as a compliment.

Just as long as you aren't handling raw food in the restroom.

If people so greatly fear piss vapor when they flush a toilet at home, how in the hell do they handle a public restroom with urinals? Or, the even more dreaded piss trough at a stadium? You're peeing into a trough, with a drain at one end, and all the steamy liquid from upstream passes by you, which you add to.

...and I don't want to even speak of the unthinkable dangers encountered with the crossing of the streams.

Ahh. See, I took it to mean that he was shooting from close range because he had to get really really close to the toliet.

Kitsune, this article touches upon public restrooms...it was a link at the bottom of the paper jinx posted. Interesting stuff.

"If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts," the professor says, "he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and crap in your sink."




rofl!
