I never got the desire to have a phone on the toilet. Leaving aside hygiene concerns then the whole process seems to be over quickly enough, or at least proceed to situations needing hands and concentration quickly enough, that it feels redundant.
Anyway better post something. Got a book today called "the everyday book of knowledge". Unknown what year precisely but 1850s seems a good bet (another part on ships mentions ships of the line, various "you can also buy" sections saying things in the 1850s as well). It is frequently hilarious.
