Would that include a Mac or a PC? And, is the toilet turbo-charged?

Your choice - Mac, in a coordinating color to match your bathroom decor, or a PC in match-all drab off-white.
Turbo-charged is extra, I'm afraid. Add two more easy payments of $20.00.

But this was not just any restroom. A Viennese waltz floated around the room, ''to relax and help patrons," the manager later said, and giant plasma television screens hung from the walls. The room was thick with air freshener, and every inch of steel glittered.Sounds like Al Bundy's dream bathroom.
