Toilet Seats

I would like to share some observations I've made while being on the road, and having to sit on strange toilet seats at restaurants & rest areas.

Perhaps my ass has gotten too used to the seats at my house. If so, I need to get out more, but here's what I'd like to know: Is it my imagination, or are the seats in public bathrooms wider and bigger? Has the American rump gotten so big that in order to accommodate the weight, we must have wider seats to sit on? It happened nearly every place I stopped if it had a fairly new bathroom. I thought maybe it was my imagination, but seriously, pay attention the next time you have to make a pit stop on the highway, I bet you'll notice it too.

Now the other theory is this. Maybe I have lost enough weight that it's not the seats that have gotten wider and bigger, but my hiney that has shrunk making it SEEM like the seats are wider and bigger. I'd like to believe that it's the latter, but I really don't think so. The seat at my dad's house, which is an older one, seems to fit like normal.

You may wonder what makes me want to write about this, the answer is that I have no idea why I wanted to write about this. I just thought it was interesting. If indeed we are making sturdier wider bigger toilet seats to keep our fat asses from breaking them, America seriously needs to get this under control. We shouldn't be changing things to make it easier to be severely overweight. I understand that some people just can't help it, but the average healthy American doesn't need to gorge themselves to the point of needing a bigger throne. Take a walk and eat some salad for God's sake.

So next time you use an unfamiliar toilet, see how it fits YOUR badonkadonk =)
