Actual conversation while driving to the supermarket with hubby. Baby in the back seat napping. Hubby starts the conversation:

So, SLO4 came back from Japan and had interesting things to say about their toilets.
What, like “‘thank you for your waste, please come again?’”
Well, she said hers didn’t speak, but it did come with some nifty gadgets.
Like a bidet? Those already exist in England and other civilized countries. Heck I had them growing up in the Middle East (note - the US of A doesn’t generally have bidets).
Well, a combination actually. The toilet squirted water - not from the bottom, that’s just gross, but higher up on the side, from the back and - this is her favorite - from the front.
Mmmm cleannnn.
Man, only in Japan. When I go there, I’m going to insist on a talking toilet. It’s going to greet me in the morning and tell me how good it is to see me!
giggling
In fact, I want my toilet to answer my crossword! Toilet, what is the opposite of “back”, 5 letters, beginning with F!
completely, hoplessly, bent over in laughter
Not only that, it should give me health tips based on what I do! Next time sir, please eat more fiber. In order to facilitate weight loss, skip the cheesecake desert.
by then he was incoherent too
