I need to address it. Someone has to write about it.

I'm talking, of course, about the Dutch toilet. It's not the most appetizing subject, but you can't live in Holland (or in Germany) without noticing it. So, there's a specific type of toilet that you find in these countries, that is apparently limited to these countries. It has A Shelf That Sits Above The Water Level. Now, how does that look? Like this:

So you can imagine what happens When You Go. It involves the constant use of toilet brushes. Why the Dutch want to use a toilet brush so much is beyond me. As my friend Steve Z (who lives in Germany) says, whoever designed this toilet is a sadist. (He calls it the Shit Shelf Toilet). I haven't verified the facts, but according to Kyle's friend Peter, the toilet was invented in the early part of the century as a health craze by the Germans, who thought it important to examine the recent contents of their bowels. Um, shouldn't this "health craze" have passed by now? Why are some new toilets still using this design? Any Germans or Dutch people out there who can verify that they actually prefer this design? Anyway, something that I had to um, unload. Ho ho!
