___
 __ I thought of that idea years ago---I was going to label the
  _ handles "#1" and "#2." :-)  Looks like somebody beat me to
    the patent.  Oh well, another million dollars down the drain,
    as it were . . .
___
 __ I'll look for this handle and give it a try.  Of course, the
  _ *cheapest* retrofit I've seen is putting up a little sign
    that says:

		If it's yellow, let it mellow.
		If it's brown, flush it down. :-)
___
 __ I've also read about Japanese toilets whose water tanks double
  _ as hand-washing basins.  That is, you use the toilet, wash your
    hands, and use the hand-washing water to flush the toilet!
