German Fun
So after indulging in lots of food for a few days.. and deciding enough is enough its time for a shit... I let out what seemed like a shit of enormous proportions... it just kept coming out like a train through a tunnel... now curiously at this point i was wondering why the poo made no plop sound... its was surely a giant but no plop.. thats when I noticed the concept of the german poo-shelf.. looking down on all its glory was something like the john holmes of turds and no amount of flushing would get rid of it.. in the end just had to give up...

Now some issues with poo shelf-- one you see the turd in full manliness but two.. there is no water to absorb the stink particles.. let this be a warning always put down a sheet of paper in a german poo -shelf toilet..

Another problem with the poo-shelf
is that if the jobby is of sufficient length to meet the shelf before completely exiting the arse, then you either have to stand up to make use of gravity or cause it to compress!

Is this better or worse than the 'hole in the floor' variety of toilet that one finds abroad?

poo shelf v. squatty hole
depends what basis you rate the shitter on. for capacity and accoustic quality i would go for the euro-shitter (as i call the "hole in the floor" type) but for self-diagnosis of bowel cancer or ruptured piles i'd plump for the german poo shelf type pan. blood shows up much better on a background of white porcelain than down a dark and shitty hole. ahem.
