The great toilet seat debate

Ken johnston

The great toilet seat debate... well maybe it is not that great... but it is a subject I have been meaning to address for some time.
Us guys have been getting bad shake on this subject (not that shake guys).
For years I have heard cries from bathrooms across this great land. “You forgot to put the toilet seat down.”
While I was married, albeit a brief 15 months, I was formerly trained to put the seat down after having a pee.
At first I resisted, then eventually under constant nagging... ooops I mean reminders... I succumbed and began putting the seat down after every visit.
Of course the ladies I work with were happy this skill had been mastered... and I have done well with it ever since.
But suddenly I realized recently that whatever happened to equality?
Why is it that I have to put the seat down when I am done and the ladies do not have to put the seat up when they are done?
Some ladies argue they do not face the toilet to do their business and often don’t look and could end up sitting on the porcelain or worse in the bowl. Well it is not that hard to have a look ladies.
I know I always look to make sure it is down before number two... couldn’t the ladies too?
–Until then, Ken
