From Elias J.S. Kulukundis Sir: I do not consider myself

a person of particularly liberal opinions and I am cer- tainly no follower of the cult of political correctness, but I must confess to the habit of micturating in a seated position. This is purely for reasons of personal hygiene, for I find that it is the best way to deal with the problem of the Last Little Drops. I find that if one pees sitting down and ends the process by applying pressure with one's fingers in an upright direction beneath and behind the scrotum, a much more complete emptying of the bladder leaves no more than a drop or two left to be soaked up on one sheet of loo paper.
