Another Look at Toilet Seats

A friend who spends his life on the oceans of the world with his wife in a small sailboat offers this perspective on toilet seats.

A toilet is not a urinal! Sit on it! If you want to stand up to piss, install a urinal in your bathroom!

Good point. Any man who takes a leak in a toilet while standing in bare legs is aware that, regardless of aiming skill and target location, piss splatters.

I routinely sit on the toilet to pee in the middle of the night, but that's only because I don't want to turn on a light. The only times I stand are when I have clothes on, and it is too much trouble to partially disrobe just to pee.

However, whether my habits change or not, I'll never again be able to piss in a toilet while standing without thinking of my wise, seafaring friend.
