I'd say it's quite a public service he's performing. He obsesses over sanitation so the rest of us can do our business in confidence.
The Mr. PottyMouth blog is only a
The only thing I can fault Mr. PottyMouth for is his spelling which, he admits, could use some remediation. Perhaps it's time someone introduced Mr. PottyMouth to Mr. Spell Checker.
