Did you know that a popular item in Asia (I cannot remember if it Japan or China, shame on me for the generalization) is toilet seats that play music to disguise the sounds of nature? I admit, I found the idea at once both absurd and also a great idea. If only there were neutralizing air fresheners that went off with the tune playing so all that unladylike business would be covered up like it doesn’t happen at all.
Men, you can step away for a moment, I want to speak to my female readers here.
Now, I don’t know about you, but what I have noticed is that women are often suspiciously quiet in bathroom stalls when others are in the bathroom. Obviously, we do not want to draw attention to the sounds and smells of the elimination process. Yet, I find it incredibly ironic, that these are the same strong, sensible women that take in hand (so-to-speak) changing dirty diapers, washing soiled underwear, and other rather dauntingly unclean tasks. Somehow, when it comes to public restrooms we get shy. Our bladders need assistance from the running taps or various other tricks that inspire us least we admit our humanity with the gas we pass.
