A warning for you before you read on: If you are offended by potty humor, than you may want to skip this one. I promise it will be kept very clean & discreet, but use your own discretion.
My family seems to have bad luck with bidets. In Japan, many of the public restrooms have advanced toilets. There are many buttons on them for everything from water and air to music for covering up any "sounds". Once, in a McDonald's, I encountered one of these hi-tech commodes. I saw the little picture showing a water spray and my curiosity got the better of me; I just had to see what it would do. I pushed the button and waited; nothing happened. Oh well. I stood up, turned around, and began adjusting my clothes when........spray! It finally decided to work, but now it was all over the front of me! I thought this was just too funny to even be embarrassed. I couldn't have planned that one if I had tried.
Now it was my husband's turn for a mishap. My husband was recently in Abu Dhabi for a meeting. When he checked into his hotel room he noticed a bidet in the bathroom. I guess we're both very curious people, because he couldn't pass up the chance either. Later, when all of the meeting's attendees were gathered, they began to talk. One of the guys mentioned, "Did you guys try out the bidet in your room?" Several of them said they had. One guy was confused and said he didn't have a bidet in his room. They all said, "Sure you do, it's right next to the toilet." To which he told them, "That's not a bidet. That's a Muslim f00t bath." Whoops!

Okay...having lived in Switzerland, I appreciate this very much! tooo funny!
Now why didn't we think..FOOT BATH...what a great idea! LOL
Ours did however make a great little bath for a baby! Nice thought there huh?
I remember my first encounter also..WHAT is THIS? mmm? In our house the toilet was in a completely separate room! all by it's lonesome. No sink etc. You had to go into the next bathroom to finish up. The funny thing even about the Swiss-toliet was looking for the handle we are use to...well, there is a button on top that you pull up! WHOOSH..it worked..WOW. The kids liked this toilet! SIGH
Amazing the NEW adventures found in places of the world.
Thanks for the good laugh!
Hope, I'm cracking up thinking of using it as a baby bath!!!
The toilets here have similar "handles" to flush with. There are two buttons on top; a small one for a little water pressure, and a large one for when more is needed.
You wouldn't think there could so many differences in something like a toilet! I didn't even mention the Japanese toilets that are on the ground.....those were "fun" to use!
Pam, I have nightmares from the bidets in Oki!(lol) My kids were fascinated by them. When my parents came to visit, my mom took pictures of all the different toilets we saw. She'll probably put the pictures in her scrapbook!
I was SO cracking up when you told me this....I am laughing again as I read it :) WE too have bidet nightmares!!!
