Squat Toilet to Confuse Americans

Americans get majorly tense about toilets and this may go some distance toward explaining why they sell so much Metamucil and other fiber supplements.  The problem usually doesn't exist in the Rockhouse because no-one eats all that much meat.




The product which is most unwavering in its promise you will never have another bowel movement in your life is Callard & Bowser Licorice Toffee.


Only a really cruel bastard would give a whole bag of these to a kid ... well ... unless it's your specific purpose to torture the little rotter.


This Licorice Toffee was the best product to ever come out of Scotland but, regrettably, there's no-one making it anymore.







We're sure you would love to talk about elimination all day long and here's a toilet gem from Italy.



Once you get past the weird, this makes a whole lot of sense.

- the position is helpful to your body for elimination and is natural for humans for this purpose
- it respects the DTA Principle for Public Toilets (i.e. Don't Touch Anything)
- almost impossible to get it clogged
- it's ridiculously easy to keep clean

The painful looking pipe at the back of it likely connected at one time to a water tank.  It looks much like one I saw in Italy and the pipe was closed off for that one as well.  You would want some kind of 'flush' function for some general disinfectant but unknown how that works.

Even for a wobbly old rummie ...

(Ed:  like you?)

Roger that, matey mate.

An old rummie can manage this thing because balance squatted down like that should not be difficult and you could stabilize yourself easily against the wall.  Best to provide some type of a handhold, tho, as they may topple standing back up again.  Other than that, it should be manageable for just about anyone.


Final note on the American Weird About Toilets as one of the brands of toilet paper here is called Caress.  Now, we don't know about you, but we don't have dreams of the anus being caressed by anything but that was the vision in the Madison Avenue copy room.

Think, people!  Work with me!  What is the essence of toilet paper?  How do we sell it?

Caress.

Wowzer.  There's enough twisted repression in that to keep a whole roomful of shrinks torqued for life.

Keep in mind, shrinks are the same people who got a test subject to electrocute a subject (fake) on the other side of a wall.  The test subject did not know the one getting shocked was faking it but the electrocutor test subject did it anyway.  Yah, that's what shrinks do, get you to do stuff like that while they watch.  (WIKI:  Milgram Experiment)
