How toilet seat covers are going to pay my way through college.

In Italy, for hygienic purposes, you must wear plastic gloves when touching fruit at the grocery store. There's also a change bowl to avoid hand-to-hand contact when exchanging cash. In an Italian bathroom my mom happened upon "the million dollar idea" that was going to put me through college: to become the Italian supplier of paper toilet seat covers (move over Kimberly Clark). Now living in Italy I find it strangely ironic that people don’t want strangers' hands touching their fruit, yet they are more than willing to share a cheek-to-cheek bathroom session with them. Then again, some bathrooms have solved the problem by eliminating the toilet seat altogether, and with that I have learned the secret to Italian women's built thighs: squats.
