He swore this was accepted practice among his colleagues. I don't think I'll be trying it.

I've heard the same thing from a soldier once. I don't buy it. I think it's kind of like snipe hunting for civvies. How can it be sanitary to use a finger? If I were being shot at and had just one sheet, I'd simply not wipe. Things would get kind of crusty, but it would be better than the severe abdominal distress after eating rations with a dirty finger.

I'm sure they cause some other sort of ecological destruction, between the fresh-smelling chemicals and plastic boxes they come in.

These ecofreaks won't be happy until we are all foul-smelling hippies.

Toilet maker warns its popular bidets may catch fire
Associated Press
TOKYO — Japan's leading toilet maker Toto Ltd. is offering free repairs for 180,000 bidet toilets after wiring problems caused several to catch fire, the company said today.

The electric bidet accessory of Toto's Z series caught fire in three separate incidents between March 2006 and March 2007, according to company spokeswoman Emi Tanaka. The bidet sent up smoke in 26 other incidents, the company said.

"Fortunately, nobody was using the toilets when the fire broke out and there were no injuries," Tanaka said. "The fire would have been just under your buttocks."

The company will repair 180,000 toilet units manufactured between May 1996 and December 2001 for free, she said. A manufacturing defect is thought to have led to the faulty wiring.

Toto has been a pioneer in high-tech toilets fitted with pressurized water sprayers — a standard fixture in Japanese homes.

The popular Z series features a pulsating massage spray, a power dryer, built-in-the-bowl deodorizing filter, the "Tornado Wash" flush and a lid that opens and closes automatically. Prices range from $1,680 to $2,600.

The model is not sold overseas.

How many rolls of toilet paper would you have to burn to make the electricity to power those bidets?

i for one, welcome our new bidet overlords

It is a cautionary humorous urban legend in our scout troop too.

It was a joke, people. For all I know, she was trying to yank Karl Rove's chain. I read that he flinched and yelped "Don't touch me!" when she put her hand on his arm while making a point. If so, good job.

I'm a little surprised nobody's publicly invited Cheryl to kiss, um, theirs. To make sure it's nice and clean, of course.

Can't wait to see what The Continuing Crisis pages of American Spectator will make of this.

Meanwhile, Cheryl, let's see those fingernails, girl.:thepain:

yet another reason you ought not listen to musicians... especially famous ones...
