The Squatty Potty, Part 2

5/8/2016

...Continued from yesterday:
   
So, having done a batch of online research about the Squatty Potty, I came to three conclusions:
    1.  The Squatty Potty is the wonder non-drug of the century,
    2.  It is being promoted online exclusively by young, hip, good-looking people*:

...with a few exceptions,

      3.  And that I had to have one.  Or two.  Maybe three.
      Turns out you can order one from squattypotty.com or from Amazon. Or you can pick one up at Bed Bath And Beyond or Target.
     Guess where I bought mine from?

Picture
Of course! 
    
   Besides, the American Family Association, the religious hate group pushing for a boycott against Target for the store's transgender-friendly restroom policy (see posts from 4/28 and 4/29/2016), has been sending men into the women's restrooms at Targets to "test the policy".  Or maybe the American Family Association, feeling all sour-grapey because Target's policy has resulted in no negative outcomes, decided that by God, there would be trouble in the store's bathrooms, even if they had to make it themselves.
     And so, along with wanting to buy a Squatty Potty, I also kind of wanted to stop into the Easton Town Center Target restroom to see if there was any trouble brewing amongst the pottys there.  There wasn't. 

   As far as I could tell, everybody at my Target was playing nice that day.  As was I.

      Anyway, when I asked the lady working the customer service desk - a gal around my age - where I could find a Squatty Potty, she looked at me funny.  "I've never heard of that,"  she said. 
      Hmmmm, not hip, thought I.
      Still, she was friendly enough and helpfully called on her intercom and the youngster who replied said that, yes, they carried Squatty Pottys but that he thought they were all out.  No wait, he said, he just found a couple.
       Feeling satisfied and justified, I made my way to the Squatty Potty aisle.

   And there they were, amidst the other bathroom paraphernalia, in the flesh.
Picture
     I mean, in the plastic.

   They cost $24.99 each, a bit pricey, thought I, for a piece of molded plastic.  But then I figured I was probably paying for all the research and technology involved, and all.  Whatever, I wanted to buy all three. But not wanting to be hoggy, I bought only  two. 
    I brought my Squatty Pottys home and put them in two of my three bathrooms where they fit neatly under the pot when not in use.

     So, how do I like my Squatty Pottys?
     Eh, to tell you the truth, I've been using them for a couple of days now and so far they haven't exactly rocked my world.  But maybe that's because my world hasn't yet needed to be un-rocked.  So to speak.
      But in the meantime they're fine.  They work.  I guess. I don't really know. 
      But I'm going to keep my Squatty Pottys, and I'm going to use them, as I've become a disciple of the ideology that we all should be using squat toilets in some format, as a preventative measure if nothing else.  You don't want to mess with the process of elimination.

   But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon those of Ashdod, and He destroyed them and smote them with hemorrhoids, even Ashdod and the borders thereof.  1 Samuel 5:6, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21).
   Then said they, “What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?” They answered, “Five golden hemorrhoids and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all and on your lords.  1 Samuel 6:24, 21st Century Version (KJ21).
    You seriously  would not believe some of the stuff you find when you read The Bible cover-to-cover.

* In fact it seems like more young people know about the Squatty Potty than older folks - maybe because of the funny commercial and the internet presence.  Most of my own kids had heard of it and think it's a cool item, whereas none of the Posse members had heard of it and were more skeptical - as was I at first -  when I told them about it and its function.
