On the toilet

Warning, toilet talk ahead

I read books. I read a lot of books and I only wish I couild read faster and more of them. So, I maximize my time as best I can. Like many people, I read in the bathroom.

However, this morning it struck me as humorous and a bit embarrassing that I am reading "Man's Search For Meaning," while on the toilet. I think it was when I put the words "Man's Search For Meaning On The Toilet" together that I realized just how funny this scene was.

So, as I pondered Man's Search For Meaning on the Toilet, I went deep and pondered what other books I have read (or are in my stack to read) and how they would sound on the toilet. It goes like this:

Searching For God Knows What On The Toilet
The Story We Find Ourselves In On The Toilet
The Divine Conspiracy On The Toilet
How To Read A Book On The Toilet
Finding Faith On The Toilet

If only I could shut my mind off, but I couldn't. Movies came to mind.

A Series of Unfortuneate Events On The Toilet
Man On Fire On The Toilet
28 Days On The Toilet
Hope Floats On The Toilet

Someone, stop me, please!!!!!!!!!

    This reminds me of the old game I played as a child when we would go through the hymnal and add "under the sheets at night" to the title. For example "How great thou art under the sheets at night."

    My father thumped my head because I had lost myself in giggles from that game.

  12. It appears that (according to the number of comments) women's roles in public worship and toilet talk are the most important issues to my blog readers. That, my friends, is a curiousity.

    Thanks for the fun. If there are more funny ones out there, I guess you could keep them coming.

    Peace.

  16. This is like that fortune cookie game.... read the cookie and add
    "in bed".

    My wife and i would do that... then we had kid(s).... we decided to end the fortune cookie with "in Disneyland".

    But, now I have to add something here.....

    but don't stone me!

    The Passion on the toilet.
    Finding Nemo on the toilet.
    Winnie the Pooh's great adventure on the toilet.


    Books:

    How to read the Bible for all it's worth on the toilet.
    systematic theology on the toilet.
    Soul Tsunami on the toilet.

    Desiring God on the toilet.....

    A side note here....


    "1 Kings 1827. At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."

    Notice the phrase "in deep thought"
    the hebrew as I understand is actually, "maybe your god is on the toilet".


    blessings... on the toilet.
