Woo, over a month without a daily dump.

A lot of thoughts come to me while in the bathroom, where I don't have a phone or notepad handy. Yeah, yeah, jokes aside, where else does one get privacy for unhindered thoughts?

Brushing teeth...why is it that people go about with this specific process: place toothpaste on toothbrush, then run the brush under the tap? It just seems backwards to me, as if the goal is to get the brush wet, it'd be better to do that first before putting on the toothpaste. What's the purpose of wetting the toothpaste anyway? Toothpaste doesn't really soak up a significant amount of water, and you run a good chance of simply washing the toothpaste away.

Another bathroom topic...
Was doing a deuce at work today and someone else comes in and starts doing his doo a few stalls over. His phone starts ringing, and he picks up and starts a rather normal sounding conversation. Strangely, there was no hint of softening his voice for 'stall-echo,' nor was there attepmpts at continuing the call later. Do you ever get calls during your restroom breaks? Would you pick up? Would you have the conversation or try to end it and speak later? Would you hide the fact you're taking a toilet call?
