Strange Bowl

(Apologies for the lateness of this Ping – I was out late selling my body. For some reason, everyone wanted a refund.)

The other day I used a very unusual toilet. I’m going to try and find/draw a picture for you, but for now I’m going to describe it. Besides, searching on “toilet bowl” in Google Images brings up some really gross pictures.

With the seat up, the bowl was the normal ovalish shape. However, on the inside of the oval about 3/4 of the way toward the back on each side was what looked like the profile of a woman’s chest jutting out a few inches. It wasn’t an attachment, it was actually part of the bowl.

My hypothesis: these are to prevent men from falling into the toilet if they go to sit on the toilet rather but don’t realize that the seat is up.

But I’m probably totally wrong.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
