How To Use A Western Toilet :) GAYAN

FK – Lot’s of amerikans could use this. If you’ve ever been to a foreign country and seen boot prints on a commode seat you’ll understand it’s importance. But then frequenting amerikan truck stops as I do I can testify to the lack of basic consideration for others exhibited by many so-called adult males. Anyone who urinates on a commode seat should be boxed up and shipped to the zoo and put in with the gorillas where they belong. This vid also shows why I avoid shaking hands and always use paper to open the bathroom door and always clean off the grocery cart handle. I’ll leave you with one last thought: handi-wipes.

California’s water supply headed for collapse in just one year; state has “no contingency plan” – NASA scientist

Add California’s water supply to your list of “things headed for imminent collapse.” The state has only one year of reserves remaining, warns Jay Famiglietti, the senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech.

In a widely-cited LA Times opinion piece, Famiglietti writes that “…the state has only about one year of water supply left in its reservoirs, and our strategic backup supply, groundwater, is rapidly disappearing. California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought…”

But don’t worry: California has no plan for balancing its budget, either. Nor does it have a plan for how to pay for all the social entitlements it has promised its population of dependents. And finally, California has no real plan to fund its pension promises, either, which means that California state retirees not only face a future without water; they also face a future without a pension check.

Phelba meets a Japanese Toilet

FK – Lots of guys are quite proud of their sound effects. Must be a female thing.

You haven’t lived until you find an ‘American style’ sit down toilet in another part of the world with boot prints on the seat.

Since we’re on the subject, a major pet peeve of mine is so-called grown men who urinate on commode seats. Those who do this should be crated up, sent to the zoo and put in with the gorillas where they belong. A five-year old should know better and has the mental faculties to raise the lid and seat first.
