Doesn't bum mean both an ass and a begger type person in the US?

When someone says "you lookin' at me bum?", yes we know what it means. But only if they have an accent while saying it to us. Otherwise we look around for a homeless man.

I remember hearing a long time ago about how there were going to be dishwashers, or maybe (clothes-) washing machines that would use ultrasound to just shake food/dirt particles off your dishes/clothes with minimal water and maximal success. And I thought I'd make my first million by inventing a toilet that "wipes" your butt with ultrasonic vibrations.

But then there was that whole "inventing" thing I would have had to tackle.

If anyone makes their first million with this, please buy me a Mac.

I think ultrasonic vibrations would be too abrasive. Only problem is, if you tone them down so that they are just regular sonic vibrations, while the nice vibrating massage would probably be lovely, your butt would probably still be dirty.

Now if you had a bidet waiting for you after your sonic vibration treatment, that would be another story altogether... Throw in some Brahms into the mix and call it a day!

Why is it that we have all of these shower devices and have gone to such lengths to make our shower and bath experience even more pleasant, even erected elaborate bath houses designed to make this a truly pleasurable experience, but we haven't done the same thing with pooping? I think pooping could be a very pleasurable experience.

For instance, I've found that I particularly enjoy my BMs with a little hard candy nearby to suck on...

As opposed to, “You lookin’ at me, bum?”

In the future, vacuum hoses will suck the waste directly from our bowels.

No, I will not allow you.

Well, look it up. It requires fewer keystrokes.

Why would I do that, when I have an army of my own minions here that will do my bidding for me?

Ben, will you please post a funny picture? Thanks!
