As we sit on the john and ponder the shitter beneath us, consider the poor Aussies who may be hit with a toilet tax for flushing.
Also consider these interesting toilet facts:
The average person spends three years of their life on the “john”.
The average person flushes a toilet about 2500 times a year, while using about eight sheets of toilet paper per day.
An estimated 2.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to proper toilet facilities, particularly in rural areas of China and India.
Lack of suitable toilets and sanitation kills approximately 1.8 million people a year, many of them children.
According to Jack Sims, a further 500 million toilets are needed to bridge the gap in sanitation.
The first flushing toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington, a British noble and godson to Queen Elizabeth I. He only invented one, as he was ridiculed by his peers, but he still used it for himself.
Most toilets flush in the key of E flat.
On average, a person will use 22 litres of drinkable water every day flushing a toilet.

Odd, of course, how much we titter at the idea of the toilet but its impact on our lives is pretty profound. When the proposal to name our sewage treatment plant in honor of President Dipshit came up on the ballot a few weeks ago, it was voted down. I voted against it, as well. I mean, why denigrate something so vital to the well-being and health of a community by naming it after America's most useless human being?
[Deity of choice here] bless the flush toilet, I say.
