A's player praises Japan for its....toilet seats

[Queasy]

TOKYO ? Emil Brown was trying to decide what he enjoyed most about the trip here to open Major League Baseball?s 2008 season. The people are nice. Nah, too blasé an answer. The food is interesting. Brown might have chosen that had he sampled the delicacies he sees every week on the Travel Channel. He chickened out.

So he went with an old standby, the unexpected pleasant surprise every first-time visitor to Tokyo experiences.

?The toilets are the best,? Brown said.

Really, what else could Brown ask for? He joined the Oakland A?s this offseason after enduring three seasons in Kansas City. He hit a massive three-run home run to propel the A?s past the Boston Red Sox 5-1 Wednesday and salvage a split in the series after his baserunning blunder in the 10th inning of the first game torpedoed Oakland?s chance at a comeback.

And for nearly a week, every time Brown sat on the can, a heated seat toasted his buns.

?Do we have those?? Brown asked. ?I mean, they?re, like, way ahead of us as far as ? ?

Toilet technology?

?? putting stuff out there.?

If not, Brown can put his 1 million-yen check for winning the game?s MVP award to use. Around $10,000 will buy plenty of heated toilet seats.

...

Certainly it made up for Street?s one disappointment with Tokyo.

?My room?s toilet was broken,? he said, ?but I took full advantage here at the field and the department stores. I?d sit down just to appreciate them.?

The seats are heated. Your ass gets washed and dried after you're done w/ your business. Mhmm. Talk about saving trees. Their flush system is probably pressurized so it only requires 1 cup of water to flush.

We have one of these at home. Nice during winter for sure. Not to mention feeling nice and clean after every visit.

Are you speculating or do you know this for sure? How do you know there's no midget down there throwing water at your ass.

I'll vouch, there are no toilet bowl midgets...well unless you pay the extra 10,000 Yen.
