Peter and Emily Converse About...

...The Wonders of Toilet Seats

emily bit me: Why don't public toilet seats make an "O" shape like private toilet seats? Not that I'm against "U" shaped seats, but I just don't see their purpose!
treecitypeter: so men can pee in them easier when they are down and don't have to touch the seat with their hands to lift it up, and they just mass produce the public U shape so they can save money that is why they are in both M and F restrooms
emily bit me: but when I go over to the guys' room, they have their "U" shaped seat up!
treecitypeter: I only see them up just after maintenance cleans in there
treecitypeter: I really think it is so guys can pee easier and not worry about dripping on the seat
emily bit me: but if they drip, they drip on the edge of the toilet bowl
emily bit me: which is just as bad for cleaning
emily bit me: anyway, it just sucks to sit on a "U" shaped toilet seat
treecitypeter: but the toilet bowl is out further than the seat would be
treecitypeter: so it is far less likely to be pissed on
emily bit me: maybe
emily bit me: I still think it's dumb
treecitypeter: and plus it probably saves money not having to put that extra chunk in
emily bit me: whoo! I saved $0.03 per toilet seat b/c I took out a chunk!
treecitypeter: hey when you sell 8374658972346587236 toilet seats to places every year that's a WHOLE LOTTA money
emily bit me: maybe
emily bit me: is that number exact?
treecitypeter: to the nearest tenth
emily bit me:
k, just checking
