#1 The government already runs our bathroom. It's called 'low-flow toilets'. Remember to flush three times.

#2 When are they going to regulate against high-flow intestines?

#4 Al Bundy

"Bud, the toilets today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors, they're too low, and when you flush them they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound.

Not the Ferguson. It only comes in white and when you flush it -- BA WOOSH! -- That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, 'I'm a toilet: sit down and give me your best shot.'"

#5 I bought one of those, at the time I had a well, and wanted to conserve, when it wouldn't empty the bowl I opened the tank to look, all they had done was to mount a Gallon and a half plastic cylinder over the lush drain, a minuite's knife work and it flushed fine.
(Never was short of water, I drilled the well 20 feet deeper than the ground water level)

#6 I have Caroma Australian toilets. They have two buttons. Little flush for #1, full 1.6 gallon flush for #2. They do not jam as their passageways are large. Bought the first one when my younger son was launching sea monsters.

#7 I wonder how much water is required to keep a septic system line clear? I suspect more than the "federal" toilet provides.
