Instapundit: The Sitzpinkler Phenomenon (first mentioned here) may explain why Americans don’t take Germany or German politics very seriously, since the main thing they remember about Germany is the strange toilet. Then again, didn’t these Americans wonder what the toilet-bowl shaped brush next to the toilet was for?
And as for Sitzpinkeln itself, if you’re man enough to stand up, you’re man enough to clean up… otherwise you should remain seated. Right?

Interesting. If Sitzpinkeln is socialist, leftist or whatever they call it, does this then mean that the more right wing bloggers will all grow long hair now?
After all long hair is not in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle whereas short hair seems to be the correct socialist hairstyle (see previous entry)…
Long-haired right wingers. That’s an interesting thought.
After posting this, I remembered that there are two styles of German toilets, Flachspühler (with shelf) and Tiefspühler (without), and that when we built our house we immediately decided agreed without discussion that our toilets would be Tiefspühler.
