I always leave the toilet seat cover down for this reason.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sometimes seats are wet because toilets flush with such ridiculous force.
Fair point. At least that's relatively clean liquid (as opposed to pee )
Of course, sometimes its deffinatly pee.

Depending on the cause for flushing, it could be considerably worse...

Funny. Eventually the kitten reaches the top of the cop's head.

You all are making me very happy that I seldom use public bathrooms.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, I flash back to some of the public bathrooms we used in Morocco--most of the public toilets were china holes in the ground, and some of the times when we got actual Western toilets (or do I just mean western toilets) the lack of aim and cleanup was DISGUSTING that I can still remember clearly almost 20 years later. Just nasty.
And few of our hotel rooms had en suite bathrooms. Few of our hotel rooms cost more than $5 a night, so there was that to consider.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ignoring the bathroom talk to say, I want pie. And I have none. Feh.

An article on how the US will mount a laser cannon on a fighter jet: [link]
The article then goes on to discus the implications for shark-mounted lasers:
HELL-beam carbines and possible battlefield-dominating raygun fighters are all very well, of course, but by now our apparently large readership of evil billionaires will be impatiently skipping ahead to find out the consequences in terms of home/lair defence applications. Specifically, defence against tiresome government agents and/or their scantily-clad feminine assistants, black-clad SWAT-commando frogman allies etc, implemented by execution-pool sharks employing head-mounted energy weapons.
Well, a dolphin can carry a human being weighing up to 100kg along for a ride. A thoroughbred shark in good training can surely match this. Thus, we seem to be looking at practicable head-lazor output in the 20-kilowatt range, roughly equating to a submachinegun with a cyclic rate well over 1500 rounds per minute. This is more than double that offered by the Heckler & Koch MP5 favoured by government SWAT operatives worldwide.
Advantage: laser shark. ®

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When I took the hydrofoil from Crete to Santorini we ran into really rough seas—even some of the sailors were seasick. I went to use the bathroom and discovered that the same thing that made people want to toss their cookies also had a really bad effect on their aim.
I was never so glad to have a pack of antibiotic wipes in my life. And when I left, I had about half a pack.
