Gyroscopic Investing

The first time the gentle stream of warm water hits your derrière, it’s quite startling. By the second time the water hits its mark, you’re a convert. Why on earth would you use your hand and paper, when a machine can pleasantly and perfectly wash your bum? These exquisite toilets are everywhere in Japan and yet can barely be found in the United States.

I always think of the Japanese toilet in 'The Simpsons'. The one that announces, pleasantly, "I am honored to receive your waste."

Stopped using toilet paper 3 months ago and haven't looked back. :-) Now cleansing like the other half of the world. One less expense to worry about. This process would certainly be easier if the water shot out of the toilet though.

You could rig up a pressurized valve onto the toilet water before you go two-zies in it and it would sit there pressurized until you release the pressure valve and it shoot ups at your bottom. Just drill a hole in your toilet bowl and turn it somehow into a valve that only would accept clean water. I would have to think more on this and now I'm in ponder-mode.

...So... Don't you have to wipe your butt to dry it after you hose it off?  I feel like any stream of liquid strong enough to clean away "the remnant" would also deflect all over the place.  Do people sort of just pull their pants up over a wet butt?  Doesn't adding water spread bacteria...?
