Copy & paste this:


That gives a whole new meaning to “put the seat down – last time, I nearly fell in!”
Wouldn’t a stool be more appropriate?
No, they bar stools.
I worked one summer at the Bar Stool Ranch. I wrangled chicken fingers and buffalo wings.
Only if it’s in the hole.
Positives:
1. His & her facilities
2. Low water consumption
3. Reusable wiping rag
4. Movable seating location
Negatives:
1. See #3 above
2. What, no wheelchair ramp?
What’s your profession? salesman? Great observations for an age-old necessity.
P-p-p-p-paper p-p-p-p-please!
Sorry, I can’t spare a square.
Can you throw square paper in a round hole?
With duct tape, we can fit a [insert shape here] into [insert another shape here] easily! Let us learn from NASA!
Ah, the westernization of toilet facilities around the world.
How futuristic!
Hmm. The addition of a mid-20th century chair does sort of bring an ancient toilet up to a year circa 1955. Kind of a “Back-to-the-Future” theme going on here. Trippy!
(Actually, on second thought, I’d better instead say something like, “Careful where you step.” Or maybe, “You’ll enjoy backpacking around the world even that much more if you carry along your own toilet seat and toilet paper.”)
I once met a lorry driver whose route took him through a desert. He found squatting in the sand very inhibiting, so he attached four legs to a toilet seat and kept it in his cab. When he needed to go, he’d set his seat-on-legs down in the shade of the wagon & do his business in comfort. Reading a newspaper, probably.
After experiencing a series of victories lately, it’s about to rain on basement cat’s parade.
whac-a-mole…. you mean cacamole
Too much Mexican food? Oh, that’s guacamole.
Too much mexican food may add “fire in the hole”…
I’ve actually seen a guy doing the number #2 in a urinal “where it’s not allowed”. This was not a pleasant sight and I didn’t know how to handle it then… don’t know how to handle it now in a urinal where is seems to be allowed!
You mean like that scene in “Kingpin?” Hilarious!
Exactly, thus the guy I saw was not only stupid, he was drunk too.
This looks like an excellent solution to a problem. Picture a child trying to sit on the regular outhouse seat. His rectum would be several inches ahead of the pit.
rectum? heck, damn near killed ‘em
Um, the regular seat (the wood floor) is probably for squatting, not sitting.
It’s just a potty, but you can gag if you want to.
Oh, I remember that song!
I’m fairly certain that the un-chaired holes ARE for the gagging portion of the experience, especially on very hot afternoons.
Toilets are for sissies.
It could be a bidet.
Haha! I’d say there’s something sort of sissy about a bidet, too, but not this one.
Fascinating how the seat is cut out in exactly the wrong direction. Gives new meaning to the term ‘backasswards.’
What makes us, poor human beings, different from animals? I guess these three things:
1. We exhibit a range of abstract thinking ability
2. We kill other living creatures for pleasure
3. We build and use our tools
So, many, many years ago after a few moments of very abstract thinking we killed a few innocent creatures wandering around (why not, stupid animals) and then invented this:
wooden stick, stone knife, bronze knife, all kinds of knifes
[then many, many years later]
wheel, stone wheel, wooden wheel, breaking wheel, wheel of fortune
[even more years later]
bathrooms, toilets, toilet paper, toilet seats, heated toilet seats, self flushing-water preserving-sun powered-toilets
and then we invented a …chair with hole in it
I need a moment here…
I hope they bothered to align it properly. Using one of those weighted strings, I would imagine.
That’s right, they had someone swallow a plumb bob.
It went like this “Swallow a plumb, Bob, and we’ll wait while you line this thing up”
Guantanamo gets worse every week…
Warning: Do not use if suffering from explosive diarrhea.
I can’t help dwelling on the back-splash created by the plop from that height. Might benefit from another couple reusable wiping rags.
My highschool physics teacher taught me that you can determine the distance of an object dropped if you count the seconds.
Not much splash, but the “Splatt” must be incredible!
This gives an all new meaning to the game of musical chairs.
beans, beans the musical fruit….
….The more you eat, the more you toot…
the more you eat, the ore you toot…
You think this is bad? You don’t EVEN want to use the bathroom on the floor below.
On the other hand, anyone who has ever sat on those things can appreciate this kludge.
Did you rinse you’re BVD’s or leave them?
I just tossed em under the car and drove away. And they were Hanes.
Kudos to those who have to use these every day. I had to use one in Mexico, only they didn’t have the chair. The must develop great thigh muscles from the hovering.
My folks went to Beijing for the Olympics. Lots of holes without chairs.
They said the same thing, must be great health benefits from all the squatting.
I would ask what the towel is for, but I don’t want to know.
The towel is for twisting into the cute little monkey or elephant shape on this 3rd world cruise line. Gives the occupant something do since there clearly isn’t a magazine rack at hand.
That’s because the magazines were all torn up for, well…you know very well what for.
I had a feeling that the Alien/human hybrid would be a bad idea, but I never expected it’s poop to be acid.
It’s a standard Roman toilet. It’s the chair I don’t understand. And the towel: the Romans used a sponge (a sea sponge: the animal) on a stick. There’s running water under the wood.
But seriously, it’s just a Roman toilet, no kludge involved.
For being the village sh**head, you have been sentenced to the stocks for #2 days.
Sign above toilet reads: ‘Max. Load 250 lbs.’
looks like iraq toilets to me.
I think this is where we found Saddam in hiding.
A chair? What was wrong with the hole? God some people are such show offs…
Now THAT is what you call CLASS-EE!
i wonder where that hole leads to. maybe it is like in the olden days where they had a hole that lead to the outside of the castle wall, so the waste just slithers down the wall/lands on the head of a passer by. and since it was a free fall it would be pretty cold to “do business” in the winter…
You go check it out. I’ll wait here.
Be sure to use an electric flashlight.
I see this and I almost see Sheldon popping out of the holes at random, yelling “BAZINGA”
Isn’t this a set from Casino Royale?
(My balls hurt just thinking about that scene.)
Noticing the distance between the hole and the front. A user would have his feet sticking straight out unless they were squatting. I beleive that this crapper is meant for squatting. They do that alot in other countries. And they probably do not allow paper to be disposed of in the crapper. All I have to say is – in those countries they do not shake hands – don’t ask why.
They have a hand for eating, and one for wiping. It is rude to eat at the table with your ‘wiping hand’.
It’s why Peace Corps volunteers sneak around the village in the middle of the night to go scrub their hands.
Whose hands?
Needs partitions between the holes for ‘privacy’. Actually, not a lot of privacy, but with partitioned seats you could sneak a switch in, and while pretending to use the ‘facilities’, reach the switch under the hole and thwack the fella next to you on the danglies. Traditional hillbilly entertainment.
This made me laugh so hard, I had tears streaming. You are full of win!
Oh, I think I saw this chair in one of the new James Bond movies…ow!
Chair is disappointed to find itself treated so crappy.
Could we call this a game of ‘Dump-A-Mole’?
Looks like someone missed hole number one by a mile.
It’s obviously a long drop, a toilet.
The ANCIENT Romans had seats. Well, a sort of bench. And a sponge on a stick to……
I think these premises originally had a roof (and I don’t know the people in the picture):

I think there’s quite a well preserved one in England next to Hadrian’s Wall, with a similarly wide view but less architectural.
And you may be interested to know that a Scottish word for “where you go to do it” is “cludgie”.
OMG, that won’t work. What if you had a case of explosive diarrhea?? It would be all over the top of the lower one!
I pray to god that chocolate rain…
Believe me or not, I’ve seen worse. See, there’s still a foot at least of clearance on this one, and they had the courtesy to add a chair. And the hole is neat and round instead of two planks.
Oh, luxury.
i would have killed to have a seat like that
i used a 5 gallon bucket with the bottom knocked out for the same effective
if you don’t learn to squat over a hole by age 4 you an’t never gonna learn to squat over a hole
the man must have been constipated and miss took the room for a sauna
Can anybody say,
CHOCOLATE RAAAAIN!
That’s a VIP seat
Had same in my summer camp in the Urals, RU
This guy wants to see what comes out from him
What if you missed? the hole
Those damn Americans and their sense of entitlement!
