Family Practice - Lid Up 2

To fully appreciate this post you should read the previous submission. Regarding that post, I must say that I was surprised at the number of comments that the subject of toilet lid placement generated. It is apparently a heart felt (or posterior felt) issue in a large number of households.

I do wish to emphasis that my suggested toilet lid campaign is directed towards PUBLIC unisex facilities and not the common household variety. I have long been well trained on lid placement in my house full of women.

Of the response that I got I think that the most practical one came from Valarie who wrote that "maybe the male that was leaving the unisex bathroom with the toilet seat down was doing something in there that he needed the seat down for!?! :)" My response to her was that I try not to think about such things - thoughts like that tend to break my concentration, and heaven knows you need to keep your concentration while using those kind of facilities.

Anyway, this is another sample from my failed attempt at comic strip syndication which talks about the controversial issue of... lid up, or lid down?

Here is one of my pet peeves.

First, you need to know that I've lived in a household full of women: one wife, three daughters, and a female dog. So, when it comes to introducing a male point of view to any discussion, I am quickly, and completely, out numbered. For example, concerning the subject of "lid up" or "lid down," my voice is a dim clatter in the distance. I have been conditioned (more like trained) to PUT THE LID DOWN!!! after usage.

BUT, why is it that when I visit a public unisex restroom, that has just previously been occupied by a member of the male persuasion, do I walk in and discover that the guy has put the lid down! Have we men been so conditioned by the ladies that we just automatically accommodate their preferred toilet lid positioning?

Men of the world! Listen to me! It's our turf too! We can walk out of ANY such public restroom, with the lid left up, our heads held up, and (least we get distracted) our zippers in the up position too!

That's what this cartoon is about. I would love to produce a bunch of stickers, to be passed out to my fellow men, to be placed on the underside of every unisex restroom toilet lid that reads: "BE A MAN. LEAVE THE LID UP!" I would love to print a Billion stickers just like that and hand them out to all men everyone.

And I would, but...

...I don't think my wife would let me.

What do you think?
