Beware the "Toilet Plume"
Simple solution is closing the lid before flushing, especially with a no. 2.
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
This INSANITY has to STOP!! This is getting effing ridiculous!!!!
We’re supposed to flush??
Just don’t let it hit the fan.
And not flushing it might give you cholera. Your move...
Now it all makes sense as to why Covid19 is so scarce in India. They don’t use toilets... just a hole in the ground. True! Only 30% of the population have toilets.

Yep. I mean, dude, many of us keep our toothbrushes in that room.
How did anyone survive the days when everyone kept their toothbrushes openly dangling from a common wall fixture?

No wonder they wanted my baby to get a hepatitis shot!
I would wash my hands before flushing, flush with a paper towel over the handle, and flee.
Not unlike telling jokes.
