We pay homage to his achievement about twenty minutes each day - that's one hundred and twenty hours a year, or one full year out of a seventy-three-year life, not including the time spent using trees, chamber pots, and outhouses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot wanting to let a year of life pass idly down the drain, most people take to reading when perched on the throne. Usually they turn to something short and pithy; something more humorous than serious; something that won't overload the head. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of short stories, essays, anecdotes, and diatribes is intended to serve as a commode companion to water-closet literati. The pieces are largely autobiographical and satirical - themselves a product of commode contemplations. Most are of a length suitable for a single sitting, but there are longer and shorter pieces to help cope with those unavoidable exigencies that bedevil us all from time to time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe suggest that some of these pieces be read aloud, but please remember to keep the door closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome Malitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542984297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542984294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerome Malitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873385230591,"sku":"9781542984294","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/commode-contemplations-jerome-malitz-9781542984294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
