Old joke; new penguin twist. Poor Opus!

Look before you, umm, leap?

Repeat after me: “light switch”.

That happened to me about 3 weeks ago and I splashed water all over the bathroom floor. The odd thing is, we never leave the seat up.

To bad Steve wasn’t sitting on it at the time….

I wish my cat would use the toilet!!

Put the lid down. That way everybody’s happy.

If I leave the seat up, my complains because she falls in. If I leave the seat down, she complains because she lands on it. When I told her that we men are taught to always check before sitting down, she wasn’t amused.

If I feft the lid up SHE would go get a knife and I would never do that again.

I was trained on the first night of our honeymoon. Incentive really works, when it comes to training.

Not a problem here. My wife is intelligent enough to look where she is going to sit.

It also helps to have a nightlight in the bathroom – it certainly helps with ones aim…

Tidy little fish bowl, huh, Opus?

My wife is always telling me to put a lid on it. Now I know what she means.

Since when do penguins object to a little water???

Ace Ventura: “Do NOT go in there!”

It was probably the axe ladywho left it up

Going on 50 years with the love of my life. Leaving the seat up only happened once many many years ago. The blood curdling scream and royal butt chewing I got at 3 AM cured me forever! No problem now, as I sit down also when I have to go in the middle of the night. No aiming problem in the dark and no water splashing to wake me out of my half asleep state.

Speaking of seata up/down. My nephew and his lady stopped by one time and I finally got to say something I’d wanted to say for years. She used the bathroom, and when she came out I asked her if she had out the seat back up. She went back in, apologizng, as my nephew and I laughed.

Floyd, I tried that logic on my wife once. It was even worse than the time I left the seat up.

Floyd H. I got all the way down the list and the last comment, yours, stole my story. I, too, had a guy friend that insisted the seat be returned to the upright position. It is very funny the first time you hear it.

I try to leave it down but, if I don’t and you fall in, it’s still not my fault that you didn’t look before sitting. No apology from me. (“I’m sorry you got wet” is not an apology).

Both men and women should close the lid when finished, otherwise the flush sprays germs around the room.
