"Don't tell anybody, but after I build my new house, I am going to rip out the toilets after inspection and install 5 gallon flushers smuggled in from Canada."

I'll help cover for you, man. But doesn't Canada have a socialist toilet policy?

Oddly, while the Canucks are more socialist on almost everything else, we are winning the race with them for a socialist toilet policy. In fact, new toilets in America have been dumbed-down to 1.6 gal ever since 1992!

[toddlintown]

You obviously missed the point. Sh*t in a bucket for all I care.

[FlJoePa]

These new urinals don't seem to have the charm of the ones I'm used to using...

[oceanperch]

What is a CPAP with humidifier is it anything like o2 with mist?

[oceanperch]

That's a good one.

Here on the Oregon Coast Range it is we just call them Trees.

Dogs use 'em and men use 'em.

One just has a higher aim.

[oceanperch]

Spot on though.

[oceanperch]

LOL OMG I just visualized that you flush then rise.

I just assumed that everyone rised turned and flushed.

Must have some good articles to finish.

[oceanperch]

When did you move to Alanta?

[mewzilla]

Does this mean no more Hanoi Jane urinal cakes?

[Blue Scourge]

I hate these things....they alwasy stink...

In SC we call'em liberals

[oceanperch]

Yeah but the meth cooks will steal it.

[oceanperch]

Are you putting in a water cistron system?

I wish I would have being on a well.

I still plan to when I get a decent bid.

I live on the Oregon Coast and our well water tables suck.

My problem is if these things are so tidy, they won't put those nice urinal mints in there any more.

Seriously, they put one in where I used to work and it stank to high heaven. Must have forgot to put the special filter in because after a couple months they took it out of order for a couple of days and after that it worked pretty well. Didn't really stink at all. But you can imagine what my first impression was. Can't I have just a LITTLE water to wash the stench down puhleaze?

[razorback-bert]

They also don't know what the little handle is for either.

All the Port-a-potties on rig sites have a 5 gallon bucket next to the toilet.

[Modok]

Why are they testing a urinal in Chicago. The men there piss while they are sitting down so it won't be used much if at all.

[toddlintown]

"I just visualized that you flush then rise."

2 hip replacements has me slow on the uptake.

[oceanperch]

Gotcha.

When I built my home 18yrs ago I put in a high rise bowl like they have in the Handycrapper stalls.
