The Bathroom Likers' Association

When I was a kid, I saw this interesting book called a "bathroom reader" that was made by "Uncle John." OK, well not a kid, more like an adolescent. So I bought it. And found it utterly fascinating, mixing reference with humor, the perfect reading material, not just for in the bathroom, either, this saying a guy who poops a lot. I was 17 when I attempted making my own bathroom reader. Being just one person, I had made a 36-page one in 2000. A second one followed in 2001, and then darkness. I was busy doing other things. In short, I forgot about it. Then when I became less busy, I attempted a third (or should I say "turd") one (complete with toilet humor about going #3 in the bathroom). All three bathroom readers I made were written by the less clever name "Aunt Toilet." and were written by "the bathroom likers' association." So, what trilogy wouldn't be complete without a fourth edition? That's what I'm working on now: "Aunt Toilet's Fourth Bathroom Reader." Off and on, though, between other projects that I like to work on to keep myself busy. But why 36 pages? I figure 18 sheets of paper is the most a staple can hold "comfortably." I had written a 42-page comic book a few years ago and it stapled just fine, but you know, just to be on the "safe side." Aunt Toilet's 3rd was finished apparently late last year (I had put a 2011 date on it.), but I expect this fourth one to be done early 2013. I figured I could be like Uncle John and make one bathroom reader per year. And ideas for articles on these do not come easy, mostly about what I experience in real life or what I see on the TV or internet (not that the internet is all that truthful, but it sure is entertaining.), and I hope to release Aunt Toilet's Fourth Bathroom Reader in pdf form, so it can be read on a Nook or Kindle or something, which is why I kept it in black and white. So, here is what I have so far on the fourth one. Anyone who has a portable eReader, tell me how this looks. http://www.atari2600land.com/aunttoilet4page7.pdf
