I think this is more a man thing, but it is important to have something good to read when taking a dump. Now I think this varies from person to person, but we all have our own preference to what to read on the toilet. Me personally use my toilet time to catch up with my various movie and DVD magazines and on occasion. Others use the time to read their lads magazines, some have books.
There have been times out of desperation or when at a girlfriends house that there is no suitable reading material and thus ended up reading the ingredients or descriptions on the thousands of cosmetic bottles you will find in any female bathroom.
However, I think it is important you can always find something to read. If the average male takes a shit once a day for 10 minutes then you will need to find over 5 hours of reading material a month. This can become an expense for those on a low income or for those who do not read books or magazines regularly.
So here are a few tips for cheap toilet reading material.
1. Argos catalogue. Ok, so not much to read, but with so many products and descriptions it will certainly last you a few months. And best of all you can pick up a copy for free.
2. Local papers. These are also generally free but go unnoticed. Keep a few stored away for those desperate days.
3. Car Guides. See how much you could get a second hand Aston Martin for. Not exciting, but plenty to flick through
4. Tv Guide. These are always knocking around or free with the paper. Keep them stored away, also dont forget about the other crappy mags given free with the weekend papers. They might not seem appealing on a saturday morning, but could be worth a read when taking a dump.
5. Takeaway Leaflets. Free and a good way to work out which takeaway has the best options for a future dinner.
6. 'Borrow' any magazines you may find lying around at work or at the dentist. Maybe not what you normally read, but in an emergency may be worthy
That little list should keep you busy, and if anyone has any other suggestions then let me know

You forgot to mention that a newspaper can be handy if you run out if bog roll too!
ReplyDeleteI know a guy called Amrtin who once used The Metro for such an act. He was forever known as 'Metro Martin' from then on.
