Crapper

I sat on a new Kohler crapper at a family member’s new house yesterday.  It was comfortable.  The height was good and the width and breadth of the seat was near perfect.  I made me think… we don’t see a lot of show rooms where folks can sit down and really test out a toilet.  Most of us learned what we like by experiencing a variety of toilets throughout life instead of trying a variety of them in a show room as one would a mattress, couch, or chair.  Given how much time some folks spend perched on porcelain, it seems that there would be more shitter showrooms. 

1. We have a TOTO.  Same deal.  Height is perfect.  We also have a slow closing seat.  No more slamming just a gentle lowering to the full down position.

2. They started pulling them off the “showroom” floor and up out of reach because too many folks were taking the “test drive” a little too far.

   Ew.

3. For crying out loud man, couldn’t you have come up with a better title?

   I thought it was another attack on poor, widdle me.

5. If Owen hadn’t been talking about that dang toilet all day, I would have thought the same thing.

7. Actually, when we built our house in 2005, we did just what you described, at the J.J Koepsel showroom in Sheboygan.  It kind of creeped my wife out to have the saleslady watching her sit on a toilet.

8. Got the American Standard Champion last year - chair height and all that. It’s awesome. Nobidy wants to use the other bathroom now.
   Will have to get another one!

10. At the EAA this year they had a Kohler show-room of sorts.  Kohler supplied port-a-potties, but not your typical port-o-john.  It was a trailer and it had a mens and womens.  Inside there were a few stalls and a number of sinks all Kohler.  BTW…it was also air conditioned.

11. LOL, Marv! I wonder who else will understand the reference?
    My favorite quotes:

    “ba-WHOOSH!”

    “Hey, Fergie”

    “Let’s take pictures of everybody sitting on the Ferguson”

    
    OK, everybodt, a quiz: Who understand these references?

13. There is a story in our family about one of my cousins. She was just getting the hang of her potty training lessons and her & her folks were in a home building store. She disappeared for a bit and then found her folks and she was real proud of something and got her folks to come to the toilet section. Yeap, she practiced her newly found potty training skills on one of the show toliets. Poor kid, so proud at what she had done!

14. Since you brought this subject up, how many of you want the government to “stay out of your toilet” with their low flow regulations, etc?  Why can’t you buy a new toilet that uses a little more water (that always works) if you choose?

15. How about low-flow shower heads?  Miserable.  However, you can take out a piece to restore it back to a more powerful blast of water.

    Don’t they know if you have low-flow toilets you have to flush twice.
