Adam just came back from vacation in Japan where he had the pleasure of being introduced to this monument to germiphobic tendencies.

The scary part is that I can kind of understand their point about the washlet -- "We humans love water... when it comes to hygiene, paper tends to.. distribute the problem". One morning in Hawaii I woke up to the intense feeling of needing to go to the bathroom immediately, only to find that my roommate was in one of her marathon showers. I did the potty dance in the hallway for about 5 minutes before realizing I had reached the point of no return. I dashed over to my landlord's side of the house, hoping to find the back door open (no pun intended) but no such luck.

I had no choice. His garden pagoda with rubber hose trailing off behind was an alluring invitation that I had no choice but to accept. I ran behind the pagoda, bent over in front of a row of ti leaf plants and indulged myself the way God intended. Afterward I made use of the handy hose and made a discovery -- cold water on that spot in the morning wakes you up better than a couple of shots of espresso.
