I absolutely do NOT allow it to touch the inside of the bowl. But only because it doesnā€™t reach that far. ---

The issue in this thread may be my New Thing I Learned Today. Not entirely sure that I wanted to learn it. ---

> [@50million](#): > > Are all the toilets really small where you live? Do you sit at the front of the toilet? Mine hangs down into ā€œspaceā€ and I sit far enough back so that itā€™s not close to the front wall. Seriously, readjust your seating position! The old bowls, when I was a kid in Aus, really were bigger. And I was smaller. The combination of me being bigger and bowls being smaller now means thereā€™s not really enough space: I either dump at the rear wall, or touch at the front. I dump at the rear wall. If Iā€™m forced to use a public toilet, I hold my dangly bit clear with a finger or two between my legs. Fortunately, Aus toilets donā€™t have the high water of American toilets: faced with an American toilet, my first reaction is urinate first, and only sit down when I can hoist the hose clear of the water. ---

I laughed, I cringed, I was slack jawed with terrible wonder, all the way to the last page of the thread. All the while wondering, ā€œWTH? Big Frank and The Hellions dangle down, how? I canā€™t evenā€¦ā€ Then I realized it was a twice, nay, thrice damned zombie. Stillā€¦ ---

Where I work, the toiletsā€™ water level is high, so me jewel-purse is in the water. Iā€™ve learned to sit and sort of hold 'er up out of the way, like a loidy ā€˜olding aside her skirts. As a wise man once said, disgustipatinā€™. Iā€™ve had the scenario in the zombie op, and hated it hated it hated it. Ew!
