4 Words: road trip to Canada. It is unfriggin' believable to me that our government has become so obtrusive as to actually govern the design of toilets (and now washing machines as well!!). Wonder if the founding fathers had this in mind some 200 years ago ......
Anyway, it is perfectly legal to 'import' a crapper from Canada, as long as it is for personal use ..... well maybe I should rephrase that and say non-commercial use.
I've done it several times. Told the customs officer I was going to buy a toilet and would be back across the border in about 25 minutes. He said it happens frequently.
I had a bathroom remodeled a few years ago and the very first time the toilet was used it plugged up. This was supposedly one of the better 1.6 ones. I was on my way to Canada the next day (only about an hour or so away).
