___
__ 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!
