I used to grab anything I could to read when taking a shit. Even reading shampoo bottle labels. Now I'm here typing this mess to you guys as I take a dump.

I prefer the phrase 'giving a dump', because I sure don't seem to be taking anything away from the transaction.

Alas I have digressed. I too indulged in the literary expositions of the shampoo bottle. Conditioner only on Fridays.

Same. I'd go through cabinets to find shit to read.

Pinch it and GTFO! Others need to use the bathroom too!
