Look before you wipe

Ok, this story is disgusting so be warned. It is a true story though and I figured it would be good to share because it could prevent you from getting very sick. I went to a public restroom the other day (no feet tapping jokes please) to do mother nature's brown bidding. Many people, particularly those in a rush or who read when they are sitting on the pot, may blindly grab at the toilet paper and not look at it before wiping. Well…DON'T DO THAT. I actually like to check out the toilet paper situation before I sit down. After all, there is nothing worse than being on the pot and realizing there is no toilet paper left. Anyway, I looked down at the toilet paper roll and saw that there were brown spots all over it of unmistakable identity. It was pretty nasty as were the thoughts of how that could even happen in the first place. But I could not stop thinking about the body to body transfer of germs that could have happened if I unwittingly wiped myself with soiled toilet paper. I mean, I could have contracted hepatitis or something! I must confess that I am actually laughing while typing this because it is just so bizarre but it is a true story and maybe the weirdness of it will remind you to always…look before you wipe.
