Question

Why is it that certain intellectuals cannot be trusted to sit the right way on a toilet?

Answer 4

What is the right way to sit on a toilte?  In some cultures the location of the bathrooms is very important is almost like the feng shui.  I cannot think how can a person posibly sit wrong on the toilet.  The only thing i can think of to understand your question is whether you are reffering to man when they urinate.  I have read that it is healthier for a man to urinate sitting down to avoid later protate problems.  However, i guess urinating standing up for a man is a sign of masculinity.  In some cultures though, men do urinate sitting down.  

Besides all and everything said, it is very difficult to think about how somebody else uses the toilet.  I remember discussing this in high school and our conclusion was that we can imagine people doing almost anything except how they use the toilet.
