I’ll never understand how people take so long to shite. I’m in and out of there quickly. Maybe it’s my high fiber diet.

I never thought of this before, but in addition to the surface meaning of "collection of things to read," the name of it could be a reference to it being bathroom reading material. Readers Digest: because readers digest.

Maxim magazine.

Since smart phones, I haven’t hardly looked at a physical magazine. I couldn’t tell you if Maxim still exists or not.

Same thing I do now.
Read.

If you can't take a dump without having a phone in your face, I don't know what to tell you.

Turned on the radio, took a dump, finished my business in less than 5 minutes. I was told from a young age that sitting on the terlet too long caused hemorrhoid problems...so I didn't.

Would have a magazine rack next to the john and would usually have the master fishing catalog from Bass Pro Shops. Would love to check out one of those old catalogs just to see the price differences on everything.


I would have a magazine rack with the latest two issues of Maxim, Sports Illustrated, WWE magazine, and 1 or 2.

Crossword puzzles.

I have heard some people looked a porn in these things called magazines. I think that could be an urban myth though.

It’s never taken me very long to poop. I’ve never understood the need to read on the toilet.

My phone died overnight. Sat on the toilet this morning and felt so lost and lonely. Maybe I’m addicted, maybe I just can’t sit in my own thoughts.


Well back in the day there was a thing called print media , you may know it as a magazine or newspaper or even a catalog. We looked at those and contrary to belief is still better than looking at a screen.

Books too..

You’ve never taken a steam shite? Where you turn the shower on hot and getting to sweating?

Uh I haven’t either but I hear it’s relaxing…
