You would have to be very over enthusiastic to wipe up to your shoulders
You'd also have to be pretty enthusiastic to get it onto the nadsack too.

By the way, the standard unit for measuring the perineum is "the tongue".

And in women, the perineum is called the "tinter," because tinter arse, and tinter fanny.

Cool, we can add this to the list of words that differ slightly in their US/UK versions- UK= "tinter", US= "taint". Oddly, they both use the same line of reasoning in their justifications.

Now, "fanny" is another story.

Ah, but you have failed to consider that Great Britain:

A: Invented English

and B: We are the mother nation!

We win!

Probably really is no rhyme or reason to it, just one of those curiosities!

Whilst on the subject, I really like american toilets. They flush differently, they seem to empty all the way before filling with water which makes sure there is nothing left behind, unlike my toilet here which i have to flush several times! A bit gross too but, american toilets make it easier to look at the results of your trip too - kinda bigger and flatter somehow!

Excuse my obsession with toilets... !
Not sure if anyone answered this but the reason is because it is so much easier to clean the stalls!!
