Jeez, why the heck is it so hard for a bunch of MBAs to clean their arses properly? All you need to do is just follow the 17 simple Muslim rules for taking a dump.

What about the splash? If the bowl is full of water you risk the backsplash of contaminated water.

Also Norm – I tried one of those ass-squirty things and they don’t work. I hit my bottom for a good 60 seconds with that thing and all I got was a messy bottom that I still had to wipe with toilet paper.

Ah yes, and can I add to Road Conditions:No raised Escalades with oversized tires and spinning rims blocking my view of traffic in front of me in Bulgaria. I absolutely hate those things, and I haven’t seen on for a year

Haha….you found a good topic, guys. Anyway I like the expression “drop the kids off at the pool”

Norm, yeah but how many times has that little plumbing fixture thingy probably rubbed up against the previous guys poo covered bunghole? Joel, glad to hear you’re doing the after poo scrub down too. You’d think if putting more water in the bowl wasn’t possible, there would have been a redesign in toilet contours by now.

Toilets: In many Muslim countries just using dry toilet paper is considered unclean; therefore, toilets have a plumbling fixture to help you clean yourself after "dropping the kids off at the pool". Advantage: Azerbaijan & Turkey and lots of other countries besides the USA & Bulgaria

I can’t believe how nostalgic you’ve become in just a week! I have to take issue with you on the following:
Road conditions: I just drove the “highway” between Sofia and Bansko at night (both ways), and it’s a death trap! Lanes end and shift with no warning, and many times there are no lane markings at all.
Sidewalk conditions: You didn’t mention it here, but you’ve got to be loving the fact you can stroll down unobstructed sidewalks in Beantown.
Plasma screen TVs: Actually, I’ve seen some hugenormous models at Technomark. However, there certainly is a lack of HDTV sources here. I am tired of seeing standard definition 4:3 signals stretch out over an expensive plasma TV.
Toilets: How can you possibly say that European toilets are better!? You don’t have to clean the bowl every time after you “drop the kids off at the pool” in the US.
