Ah, Water Efficient Toilets, my favourite topic on my infrequent forays
into misc.consumers.house.

No Bu*sh*.  Get used to it, or change your pooing habits.

Often times a guest will unwittingly set a trap for you in your
Poopmaster Junior model toilet: They flush; all seems well... perhaps
the bowl water is little low, hiding the terror to come.  You go in,
how you say, lay a loaf, plop a wad, brownulate, I don't know, I'm
just an artificial intelligence netnews answering program, and don't
do those kind of things.  Perhaps you just take a whiz.  Come flushing
time, and you watch in terror as the water rises higher and higher ...
Do you A. reach for a plunger? B. Rip the tank lid off and stop that
water flow?  Answer: B, before it's Niagara Falls time.  Your guest
had deposited an "obstruction" just beyond the curve of visibility...
booby trapping the next sucker.  That's life with water saver toilets.
Perhaps you should set up a coin box next to the toilet for donations
for carpet clean up after Niagara incidents.
