A Touching Tale – a contemporary horror story
Hanging around toilets can get you arrested. Start touching them and you could also get rather ill. Neither is to be recommended!
Hanging around tablets might not get you arrested, but if you’re planning to touch them, as intended, you might be better off sticking with the toilet!
The testers at ‘Which’ magazine discovered that the incidence of staphylococcus aureaus (you don’t want to know what it does!) bacteria on tablets was up to THIRTY TIMES greater than on office toilet seats.... smartphones not so much better at SEVEN TIMES worse!
The more you swype, the more you should wipe!

Ha ha, 'A touching tale'- took me ages to get that. I should probably also stop using my tablet as an impromptu plate...

Tecnology will be the death of us all, perhaps we should start browsing using smart toilet seats !

Nice one, Alex. It would allow us to multi-task.

Is that the same as jotting down notes on toilet paper when feeling inspired at entirely the wrong time ;-)

Yes, it's a most creative environment :-) Newton's Third Law, 'action and reaction are equal and opposite' might well apply.
