Not going for incognito eh?

When I'm doing my thing on the can, I like to read. And judging by the fact that other people have books and magazines in their bathrooms, its a common thing. Understandable. Here's what I don't understand. Why do people take magazines and papers with them to the public restroom? You might as well have flashing lights around you and bang on a gong announcing that you're going to be letting out a stink bomb. Why why why? When you stink up a restroom in public, you're suppose to blame shift, and make like someone else let loose. Don't roll up a packet of papers and freely wave it around! This mainly goes towards men. Women can be discreet by carrying a purse in. But guys??? Come on.
