I am assuming butt cooties are crabs? Lord knows, around Mardi Gras, these biting little crab louse are crawling out of the woodwork, among several other places. I have hear women visitors whine about the to rolls in the stalls being full of them, and the,” just know they will be carrying a good dose of them back home, to spread accidentally around”. I bar tended at a club there while in college, and was unfortunately both asked, and told about the situation constantly.

Laughed my …eeeh.. butt off :-)
Working daily in a lab with bacteria and blood, I have no problem sitting down on public toilets. After all, we need a rich and diverse normal flora.

And here’s my favorite bathroom sign:

Our aim is to keep this bathroom clean. Gentlemen: Your aim will help. Stand closer. It’s shorter than you think. Ladies: Please remain seated for the entire performance.

It didn’t last past my first pregnancy. Fear of peed pants overruled my fear of butt cooties. My eldest is twenty-one now and no symptoms of butt cooties have manifested. I’m thinking I must be immune.

Even at church. She always wiped the seat before we took our turns using it and then wiped it again afterwards so it would be clean for the next person. I STiLL do this.

LOL!!! I adore your line, as follows: “Ah yes, you may be a famous author right now for your massive books, but it’s the Butt Cootie essay that will cement your name in history.”

I don’t know if I should feel sorry for Diana- or proud!
