In the splashy world of personal hygiene, there’s a device that divides nations, separates friends, and causes even the most stoic men to squirm in their camo pants. I’m talking about the bidet, that cheeky fountain of youth, or rather, fountain of posterior. The bidet is the brainchild of the eccentric French inventor, Sir Pierre de L’Eau Chaude, whose name, curiously enough, translates to Peter Hotwater. Sir Pierre, a man of considerable wealth and even greater idleness, found himself one day in the late 1600s lamenting the state of personal freshness post-horseback ride. It was the age of enlightenment, after all. Why should one’s nether regions not emerge from a…

New Restroom Policies The inordinate amount of time visiting restrooms during business hours is about to stop!
From: Thaddeus Federman, CEO, Acme Office Supplies To: All employees Subject: New Restroom Visitation Policies It has come to our attention that employees have been wasting an inordinate amount of time visiting the restroom during business hours.

Last Chance Underwear Skidmarks and the smell of kids... everything you ever wanted to know about rectal hygience
When I was a kid growing up in southern California, I’d try to escape the blistering summer heat by playing in the sprinklers on the front lawn or floating submerged in a public swimming pool until my fingers turned to prunes. I counted those hours under water as part of my daily hygienic practices. My mother didn’t. At that age I didn’t know that the reason they chlorinated the water so heavily was because my classmates were peeing or Hershey squirting in the water. It looked clean to me. The way I looked at it, as long as I spent every day under water, I could go the entire summer…

Let’s Get This Potty Started Restroom breaks can be tedious
I was in my early 20s, when I decided to take a break from the tedious life I had created for myself and spend a summer in Munich, Germany. Ever since I saw Leni Riefenstahl’s epic documentary of the 1938 Olympic Games, I wanted to experience for myself what it would be like to pole vault in Bavaria. With barely $500 to live on, I realized that I’d need some way to support my trip, so I hit the straβe looking for work. After several days, the only thing I could come up with was an administrative job in the United States Army Post Exchange Headquarters. It wasn’t the greatest…
