As Seen on TV

   Some aspiring graduate student could do a thesis on the commercials
   you see on female-oriented TV programs. One I saw recently pointed out
   how there could be millions of germs lurking under the rim of your
   toilet bowl. The bright white seemingly clean toilet on the screen is
   then overlaid with a murky, greenish color with lots of blots to
   signify the germs. No, you need Lysol or whatever it was that squirts
   disinfectant up into this infested, heretofore neglected area.
   And then I thought, just what toilet uses require me to reach up under
   the rim, let alone stick my hand in the bowl area at all? About all I
   could think of was someone "losing it" due to illness or excess,
   desperately clinging to the rim. Even then, would you claw around in
   this danger zone or just grab the outside?
   How did the human race make it through all those prior centuries
   without toilets, let alone totally disinfected ones?
