A tech minded solution for great relationships

April 25, 2012 by Toby Martini Leave a Comment

So, I am a tech guy and I think pretty linearly. I look for elegant answers to complex problems. AND, I’m into relationships, too. (I’ve been with my wife for 22 years.)

I know that people have been searching for this answer for years. And this topic has been the basis for hundreds of jokes by stand-up comics.

But, I have a valid solution and I hope that everyone will take this to heart and create happiness and peace in their relationships. I offer you the “magic bullet” to making relationships work! It’s pretty simple. Ready?

(Before you look below, you MUST realize that I mean this advice for BOTH sexes. Not just for men, as it is usually cast.)


Look at this diagram: Put the seat AND THE LID down If the seat is down, close the lid over it. If the seat is up, Put Them Both Down. Everyone. Every Time. Yes. You will have to open the toilet every time you need to go.


Results:

  • No complaints about someone forgetting to put the seat down.
  • Nobody is going to pee on the seat.
    Well, someone might, but they’re so drunk that you should be happy they’re not peeing in your fridge. (Which I have a true story about, but will not share more now.)
  • Equality! Everyone will have to open the lid to go.

Just another problem I can help with!

Testimonials

Your program helped our team create personal bonds and gave us tools that will improve our leadership.  Who knew that improv would be useful in corporate America?

You made the improv experience educational, meaningful and most of all, fun.  Our team bonded, pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone and grew.  We connected in a way we previously had not and have a better understanding how to work together.

Thank you for a great experience.
