Yes, it's true! An ABC News headline says: "Flushing Can Spread Diarrhea Disease". And it's about time someone spoke up about this! When you have diarrhea, and you flush the toilet, it gives the illness to everyone else! That's why you must just keep it in the toilet. Just let it build up, even if it overflows all over the floor: at least then you wouldn't have flushed it and made everyone else sick! In fact, why take a chance in the first place? You might forget and flush the toilet if you go to the bathroom in the bathroom. So just go to the bathroom on a plate and put it in the kitchen: that way you won't be tempted to flush that toilet and give everyone else diarrhea!

with the lid open can spread the disease. But that's not what the headline says! And I'm going with the headline: it's so much more to-the-point! Now, they could have said: "Open Lid Flushing Can Spread Diarrhea Disease", but that would have given the game away, and then we wouldn't have to read the article! So better to send the wrong message, rather than take a chance that people won't read your whole article. Right? Right.)
