That smiley looks like he's pulling the chain on one of those old 1920's bogs.

I still can't work out why the urinals are full of water. It's already liquid, it doesn't need any extra help!

I guess that just means your average American is not so full of shit, as the average Brit.

Got myself barred from the bathroom at work for that hahaha

Ever had to stand up to get it out??

and while we're talking 'bout toilets, what about toilet paper over here! It's crap (not literally), thin and generally useless.

It rots down real fast in the septic tank compared to 'UK' style paper. I think thats why its so popular. Unless folk just like the smell of poo on the fingers..

When I moved into this house there was a roll left behind, single ply stuff, quite nasty. But I bought Charmin Ultra Soft and it's fine.

Since the thread is a bit shitty, on the same theme, last night I had one of those blue raspberry icee things from the cinema. It affects your stool colour... alarmed me somewhat until I googled it. God knows that they used to colour the ice - I'm sure I've had blue in the UK without any such issues!

Limeade in the UK would turn my pee green. Not pea green though.

Had the same thing happen with a blueberry sno-cone.
