This is my Bog Blog! Call them whatever you like: dunnies, pissers, gravy bowls, pissoirs, porcelain caves, potties, loos, crappers, dumpers, shitters, outhouses, throne, bogs, longdrops, WC's. As much as we dont want to think about it, even good looking girls have to crap every day! The vast array of toilets in the world have fascinated me for a long time. This blog will be continuously updated as long as I continue to travel the world and wake up needing to hang a dump.

Curse of the Pooh Shelf

This is the toilet in my office....
This is the shitter in my office and it suffers from the common affliction of most German speaking toilets.

It has a 'Pooh Shelf'.

This now anachronistic function was in ancient times to facilitate a good inspection of your stool for health purposes.

Surprisingly, this is no longer required, nor in fact enacted.

However these German speaking nations persist in making these DISGUSTING toilets.

The unfortunate end result is that u get a big pile of turd steaming away in the open air stinking out the entire building. It also has a high tendency to cause 'bowl staining' another entirely undesirable byproduct of this taboo topic.

Gentlemen also have to take extreme care that if you do happen to have quite an ample amount of excrement that you have to take care your 'bits' dont go 'fishing'.

It's horrific to say the least...

I've saved you viewers from more dramatic photos and you can rest assured they will not be posted!
(unless I get an overwhelming response) ;-D
