These babies do everything but wipe your arse - actually they kind of do that too.

I've got one of those toilets! Two actually...well 2 Toto toilets anyway...they told us when they sold them to us that they'll never clog...a few months later...yeah right! NO toilet is uncloggable!

Uncloggable toilet?

I take that as a challenge!

I have not met a toilet yet I cannot clog on a Monday morning.

I love low volume toilets you have to flush 3 or 4 times to clear out. Where is the savings in water? I just used 4X the water trying to get that pathetic thing to flush.

You have not lived until you used a Ferguson.

Who cares if it flushes.
It has "gentle aerated warm water, dual action spray with cycling movement and massage and warm air drying"
not to mention a docking station that is easy to install and clean !

Hmm, a gentle massage followed by a docking station. That sounds interesting.

that whole "he/she never leaves the bathroom" thing would take on a whole new meaning.

Wow, the coriolis effect has nothing to do with the way a toilet swirls. I'm shocked. It's quoted as gospel almost everywhere. Cool, learn something new every day.

BTW, we've got 2 toilets in our house that don't swirl. One is very quiet where the water just goes straight down, and the other is one of those commercial pressure fed toilets that has a crazy jet of water come out to propel the contents of the bowl to where ever they go.

Ahh the French crapper...

The whole friggen' floor gets soaked! I was in France, in a restaurant and the mens urinal was open to passers-by. I decided for privacy.... Talk about ***** and run!

Okay, call me naive, but how in the hell do those things work? What do you do - take a dump in there and then flush it somehow and a jet of high-pressure blasts you in the ass to remove the clingers or what?

Ok, your classic european hole in the floor works as you would imagine, deposit your deposits in hole, then flush.

The bidet/butt wash... Sit on bidet, turn the tap/fawcet knob thing so that a jet of water blasts up into your behind, saves on toilet paper feels good! (allegedly).

Most places that have a bidet would also have a regular toilet, mainly found in hotel bathrooms etc.

Places with a hole in the floor are highly unlikely to have a bidet, they have the hole in the floor arrangemnet cause its cheaper than a proper toilet. These are commonly found in French/Italian campsites and as public toilets.

Okay, the bidet thing I get, although there's the unpleasantness of getting from the bowl where you drop the Cosby kids off at the pool over to the bidet to wash away the smears. Waddling around - even for one or two steps - without wiping is highly unpleasant.

The hole-in-the-floor thing I get, but do they just use paper for those or what? How are you supposed to wipe? I don't see no roll in that pic! Scary!

What happens when you have a spray pattern? Does it just go all over the walls? AND your pants?

Do you stand on the 'platforms'?

You might find paper in a Eurpean toilet if you are lucky, arm your self with plenty of kleenex if you have to use one though!

[What happens when you have a spray pattern? Does it just go all over the walls? AND your pants?]

Do you mean like a bout of explosive diahorea?! Wouldn't really like to find out!

[Do you stand on the 'platforms'?]

Yup you stand on the paltforms and squat over the hole, sometimes you get soemthing to hold onto to, its not good to end up sat on the hole or crapping into your pants!

Thankfully I haven't had to use one of these in years.

[JCF]

Ah yes the paper - like paper bag on a roll.
...Any port in a storm.

Not sure I would want to use the docking station in one of those though.

It keeps people from from reading the paper. I was curios as how the toilet flushed, so I stood back, hit the lever and water started flowing and flowing and flowing... The entire floor gets wet, even the tile where one stands to take pictures of weird toilets...

[bigchillcar]

well, on the north pole, you flush the john and the ***** goes straight up...better move that ass fast, ho...

what do you mean, "flush"?

have i been missing something?

this may be my problem,

mine came without the instruction book!!

[john70t]

Instructions:
1. Pull down pants and squat down.
2. Brace against the wall as your knees snap, buckle, and give way while you clean the surrounding tiles with the sleeves of your Brooks Brothers sportcoat.
3. Urinate directly into the pocket of your pants.
4. Follow that with the liquid remains of the overpriced, annonomous ingredients of lunch. Don't worry, the back of your suit will protect the wall from spray.
5. Find someting to push or pull yourself up with, and exit immediately, avoiding all members of your party.
6. While en-route to the hotel, call business partners on phone and quickly purchase jug of cologne.
