Sit & Solve Hard Sudoku

I've burned through the Sip & Solve Sudoku book, and I felt ready to move on to the Sit & Solve Hard Sudokus. Despite the humorous gimmick of the cover, however, I don't actually work on these puzzles while on the commode. If that was to be my preferred mode of Sudok'ing, I think I would have to return to doing the light and easy puzzles. This is because, and I would be remiss if I didn't point this out, my medical understanding is that sitting on the toilet and straining for excessive periods of time is thought to produce hemorrhoids. I'm not sure if this applies to straining because of constipation or the mental strain of doing a hard sudoku, but I'm not taking any chances. However, should you not heed my warning, I would recommend minimizing the itching and pain of hemorrhoids by avoiding trauma and irritation to the surrounding skin tissue. Avoid excessive use of harsh toilet paper, minimize secondary irritation or dermatitis by avoiding soaps and creams. Just keep the perianal skin clean with water from a shower and try to avoid secondary yeast or parasitic infections. In the event that greater soiling of the anal skin occurs secondary to chronic diarrhea or loose stools, I recommend a non-scented petrolatum gel or hemorrhoidal cream. All that being said, I love Sudoku, and would gladly suffer the pain and indignity of even a massively prolapsed hemorrhoidal vein if that was the price necessary. Sudoku brings me great joy, fills my belly well, fills my porous head with honey, keeps my spirits high and lemon-scented throughout the day. Good sudokus, I recommend this book, I would call them medium-hard, nice format for ripping out pages and sneaking them into notebooks for sudok'ing during lectures.
