Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig continues to wage his lonely and courageous effort to clear himself from charge his "wide stance" toilet habits led to the unjust accusation he was actually engaged in soliciting sex from a man in the next stall (who turned out to be an undercover police officer staked out in a restroom with a reputation as a meeting place for such liaisons).

Last week we asked readers to tell us under what circumstances they would be likely to use a public restroom reserved for the other gender.

No, not that stuff (well, actually, yes, that stuff too, but I definitely don't want to know about it). One of the important tools in fighting infectious disease is disinfecting surfaces.
This is a running bit on the sitcom show "little britain". Funny stuff, though there's a bit of toilet humor on the show.
Sorry. Not a sitcom, but a sketch comedy.
Revere, thanks for the plug! Yes, Little Britain is a terrible awful show but it's really funny!
