How come we don't see more self cleaning toilets? I'd like to see toilets that spray high pressure water all over the bowl to remove skid marks that could be activated with a special button. I hate going to public bathrooms and having to use a toilet that has skid marks all over it. It is 2008! How come we haven't solved this problem yet?

Self-cleaning public toilets were a captivating political issue in Seattle a few years back, even leading one side to accuse the other of "potty politics".
At last, relief is in sight as plush public potties open downtown

Apparently, that did not go well.

Toronto is also in the process of getting them (they may be there already).

You liberals: whine about environmental impacts one minute, campaign for more convenient high-pressure washers in your toilets the next.

Think about all of the money it would save in those toilet scrubbers and chemicals!

Why would you have a button to activate skid marks?

Hahha... nicely played, son!

My button would, of course, remove skid marks on activation, but I'm also thinking that maybe it should automatically go off when a really fat person gets up from the toilet. I'm assuming that really fat people poop more, but I've never really asked a fat person about this.

I just clean it off with some high-pressured piss next time I take one.

Why don't you just poo in a hole in the ground like a civilized person? Skid mark free!

Because that attracts beavers and other sorts of animals that flock to poo.

Yeah, that's what I try to do too, but it sucks when you run out of juice and the job isn't done yet.

I don't leave the bathroom until all the paperwork is done.
