Potty talk

I have come up with several award-winning invention ideas in my time. (If you give "award-winning" a very liberal interpretation.) Not only that, I have come up with some fabulous jingles for various products. We sing them around the house. (Did you know that's how Luther Vandross got his start, by writing a Pepsi song? Maybe the same thing will happen someday with my Land-o-Lakes Butter song...)

I will not divulge my invention ideas, because they may just pan out someday and I don't want to have to sue you for stealing it. (Nor will I divulge my Land-o-Lakes Butter song.)

But here's an idea that's up for grabs. A seamless toilet. I mean, easy-to-clean, no cracks, no crevices, no hinges, no little sneaky places where yucky drips can hide. I don't want to have to use a toothbrush to get at all the spots on a toilet. I want to be able to wipe that porcelain clean in one smooth stroke. This picture I found appears to come close. But for all you plumbers out there, how's about inventing this... even more seamless than the one pictured. If you can give me a free sample (including free installation), I'll gladly try it out and give you rave reviews and tons of free publicity on my blog. This is an offer you can't pass up; my blog readership is in the TENS and I can almost guarantee that every one of them is a toilet-user.


Oh yeah, and it has to have a rocket-power flush too. I'm getting really tired of unclogging the toilets around here...

You have to unclog toilets more often than most. However, I'm all for a seamless toilet. So much easier to clean. Bravo.

So I went looking for this very toilet the other day when I had to buy a new one. Of about 2o - 25 toilets available at Lowes, there were none that looked like it. They all had those beautiful curves that show where everything is going. I don't want that, I just want the smooth stand. We ended up getting the most expensive one (because it was also the best looking one, by Kohler). I was a little worried that we might be paying for design rather than flushing power but it seems to be flushing just fine. It has solved most of our problems, but with 4 boys, my idea is a SELF CLEANING toilet. That's what I really need.

There is a toilet seat made by Bemis Corp. that is completely removable with a couple of slide latches. You can then take the entire thing to a laundry tub and clean.
