A little light reading

Folks, I need to talk about something that has been bugging me for some time now, reading on the can. What I mean by that specifically is taking some news article (something you printed out, or something like a news paper) and going to the bathroom at work and sitting on the toilet reading. Aside from the fact that you're trying to hide that you're slacking off at work, it's just fucking nasty.

Why on earth would anyone want to spend more time than they have to sitting on a toilet in a public restroom.

"Say, you know what would be great as I try to drop half a loaf of kung-fu, reading War and Peace."

Oh yeah, good times in the old can today. I think what cracks me up about this even more is that Mr. I like to read on the can (MILTROTC) decides that instead of taking his reading material with him when he's finished "doing his business," he'll leave it sitting on the toilet paper holder for all to share. ick, ick, yuck, nasty... Last thing I want is to handle materials that have been sitting in a men's room stall for god knows how long and has been handled by god knows how many people after wiping their asses. To top it all off, I usually know who MILTROTC is because he'll print out an email sports article and his name will be on the first page sitting there on the toilet paper holder in the stall.

If you're going to slack off and read the sports section, grow a set of balls and do what I do, slack off at your desk. Everyone does it, just turn around and look at the co-worker's computer behind you and they're probably reading CNN or the Onion.
