Safety Matters!

I could never figure out how a single thin strip of paper over a motel toilet seat could protect me. Clearly, on the strip, it reads: FOR YOUR PROTECTION. If that little slip of paper can keep me from falling in after a night of heavy drinking or a bad reaction from Indian food, I say a Nobel Prize would be in order for the inventor. However, I do concede that the active word is "Sanitary". But, again, I'd feel more comfortable if they used a disinfectant cleanser instead of a simple sliver of pulp.
For my protection. I feel so reassured!
