This is the money paragraph...
A toilet is a common bathroom sanitation fixture typically consisting of a bowl, a hinged seat and lid and a handle for flushing.

Of particular note for men is that women almost universally oppose the male tendency to leave the seat up after urinating. Toilets are not frequently used as beds or places of slumber.

This guy has some fun with his stories. It must be his schtick.
