1. taking baths is gross
2. snacking while taking a bath is even grosser. now you have wet pieces of bread floating in your own filth-water?

I will grant you, though, that eating a sandwich in the bath is pretty funny.

There may be tiny crumbs in the bath but eating a sandwich without getting too many crumbs in the bath really isn't hard unless you eat like a slob

Were you just recently potty trained?

I often **** while playing poker and it makes me very happy.

Jay,
Doesn't your sandwich get wet? I've eaten in the tub a few times and I always regret it.

That reminds me... I used to take my laptop with me when I took a bath. I'd put the laptop on the floor next to the tub with a towel next to it, and after getting in I'd dry my hands and play poker for a while. This is back when I play playing like NL10 on Bodog or whatever, so it was pretty degen. Then a tiny bit of water got on my keyboard and my comp broke

.

In short, don't take advice from me on this issue.

Yes, and I have a copy of this book already in there. Possibly the best bathroom book I've ever had. I always feel smarter coming out of the bathroom than I did going in.

Nah I eat the sandwich as soon as I get in the bath with dry hands and it doesn't get soggy from the steam

I also watch movies or TV on my laptop in the bath - theres nothing better imo

+1 on both of these. I can see taking baths occasionally if you are stressed and want to relax, but I can't see taking them regularly enough that I would consider eating it.

Also first in the thread to post while taking a ****.

its not that those of us who read take longer to poop.

usually, i'll be done pooping in 4 minutes. I just like to sit there though and read. No one bothers you when you're in the bathroom, it's peaceful.

either poker strat books or reading my cell-phone news and sports stuff (essentially the same as reading the newspaper without all the paper). Usually my cell-phone. Either sports scores or the news. Sometimes the weather if I want to see what the radar is looking like.
Yes, I clean my cell-phone regularly.

I have two small children. The toilet is the ONLY place I get to read uninterrupted.

My bathroom reading has really helped me at trivia nights

These Uncle John books are great for anyone that hasn't seen them. Tons of quick 1-3 page articles and fun factoids on every page.

I've read every shampoo bottle numerous times from those days someone "cleans" the bathroom and decides to toss my Calvin and Hobbes and Get Fuzzy books in to my room without telling me =(

I have The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract in the bathroom.

I usually read about 4-5 players per dump. By the time I get all the way through the book, the beginning of it is far enough from my memory that I want to read it again.

You guys must really like the smell of poo.

I, too, have eaten in the bath. Not a single visible particle of food ended up in the bath water. I do not understand why someone would find eating while having a bath gross, then again here in Estonia the bathroom and the toilet are separate rooms. Somewhat amusingly, I only take baths in pure hot water after I have showered (if I didn't take a shower first, I'd take one afterwards), for relaxation and pleasure purposes only.
