Toilet Seats - Up or Down?

You know, I think I've just realised why there is so much conflict in the United States over whether or not men should put the toilet seat down.  I think it's because, generally speaking, women have enough faith in human nature to sit on a toilet without first checking if it's boobytrapped, while men do not.  I know I certainly check every time.  Of course, in my case, this is probably more a result of faith in Australian wildlife rather than a lack of faith in humanity.  From a young age we have to learn to deal with things such as the bowl leaper frog, the redback spider on the toilet seat, and of course, the dreaded dunny mullet.
