I'd stay away from any rubber bands on his desk then...

or is that just me that does that?

I hate when I have to take a crap and I'm completely out of reading material. I'll start running around the house in that heightened sense of desperation looking for anything to read. I'll grab a takeout menu or one of my kids' school books if I have to.

I thought it was a well known fact that something in paper (chemicals from manufacturing process?) that triggered going to the bathroom (#2) response for most people - not the same level of response for everyone...........obviously, libraries have lots and lots of paper so the reaction from libraries are more noticeable.

I am not very sensitive to this phenomenon, but my wife is.

When A chick is on the toilet I like to start saying "Turtle, Turtle, here comes the Turtle."

Toilets always trigger me to take a dump

There's a guy I work with who takes the office copy of the WSJ in with him, and then brings it back out. Ick. I have since subscribed to the online version.

There must have been a hiccup somewhere... it should have been flagged!

When not needing to go the bathroom (#2 only) yet its been awhile...

get your favorite bathroom reading and take it into the Living room, dining room, etc. somehwhere except the bathroom....

read...

Does this trigger a feeling of needing to go to the bathroom (#2) where you would continue your read?

Yes, and I just shit on the couch. Thanks, I'm glad I participated.

Usually,I print off one of Flasch's anti-coporation threads before heading to the bathroom, read it while "dropping the kids off at the pool", and wipe my ass with it.

its actually a chemical pheromone that is given off by paper products as I recall. SOmething about the chemicals used to make printing papers is released by the paper all through its lifespan and its the smell that gets you, not the act of reading. Wish I could remember where I saw that....

I've never heard the chemical explanation before, but offhand I think it's a pantload. I'd go with the Pavlovian explanation before the other.

Hell, I'm a writer who spends much of the day surrounded by paper, and I don't find myself constantly compelled to crap.
