My wife was very funny this evening when I shared these "cracking" ideas
with her. She mentioned that she remembered a friend relating a study that
was done by the government a while back. They spent an incredible amount
of money to research how and why people had accidents in the
bathroom. After several hundreds of thousands of dollars of research and
study, it was concluded that the majority of accidents came when people
were getting in or out of the bathtub.

Best wishes,
