Dear UncleDuke:
UncleDuke, indeed!
I understand the “code” you’re writing in, but I must be very frank in my bad advice.
I cannot say this often enough:
Never read an ebook while sitting on a public toilet!
It’s been proven that germs do indeed have incredible jumping skills (Why should they like the toilet any better than you? They want out!) However, even though germs are good jumpers, the less successful germs don’t jump high enough to jump
OUT of the toilet, if you understand what I’m saying.
So, and unfortunately in your case, what you are dealing with are the weaker-jumping germs who get trapped. Let us leave this unpleasant subject by stating that they find a different place to live.
Now, to your second question:
Absolutely tell the librarian about your problem! Also – and I must be insistent upon this –
tell her about my advice to you, as well.
You both will laugh about this later.
Signed,
Dr. Bad Advice
