 to: My female friends here re: toilet seats I have heard this topic debated, argued and lead to the brink of divorce over the years. While I do see the male point of view much more clearly, I also ran an experiment one time with a group of friends. I held a small party at my house with about twenty guests. The guests were fifty percent male and fifty percent female. The experiment was beautifully simple and brooked no room for debate. Before the first guest arrived, I ensured that the toilet seat was down. To be thorough, I also closed the toilet lid. Then I fell back to my innocent position of host. To the knowledge of no one but myself, every time a guest repaired to the facilities, I checked when the left. Without one single exception, EVERY female left the seat down and the lid up. At the same time, every last male closed both the seat and the lid. Hardly a scientific approach, I will grant you. At the same time, my dear friends of the compulsive gender, please accept the following advise in the spirit in which it is intended. Like the lid, keep it shut. By the way, before anyone wants to debate disgusting bathroom habits, keep in mind I also worked as a janitor while going through school. Any stories you may use as responses to the above will find yourself regaled with many charming tales of cleaning a women's public restroom! Bon soir mon chers!

I insist that others put the benefit of the group before anything else, regardless of a well meaning agenda. If what you say is a fact, you can back it up. If not, it's opinion and should be called that. The safety of members is paramount.
Only our weaknesses give us real strength.
Only our failures grant us victories.
