Gotta love OCD people…I one time ran into a guy near St. Vincent's hospital who was explaining to me why it takes him an hour to leave the house in the morning. ("Then I have to check the light switch again…then I have to make sure the door is locked…then I check it again…")

The old "disease from toilet seats" gag isn't stretching my credulity as much as the concept of calling a plumber when you want to have your toilet seat replaced.

A nation is aroused? ...what kind of toilets are these? :[

Maybe that explains the transfer of disease they were talking about too. Seems like folks were sitting on them funny. Perhaps they invented new uses for the olde toilet seat.

"That scourge won't reach my children now!"

Is she talking about the toilet seat or her hubby's mistress??

Not to mention that a cracked toilet seat can pinch...

Pyroxylin--they aren't kidding about the "pyro" part. It's highly flammable. I know people who used to discard their cigarettes by tossing them in the toilet. I wonder how many house fires started that way. That's one way to kill the germs!
