IT'S A GREAT IDEA, UNTIL YOU STEP BAREFOOT ON A FORK
It's called a Washit, and it's a combination shower-washing machine.
(Thanks to Rob Simbeck)
CORRECTION: This blog has been reminded that people do not wash forks in their washing machines. Usually.

You mean a sock? Who puts forks in washing machines?

I pray that I am dead before taking showers or washing your dishes with recycled water becomes the law.

Call me when there's a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

Funny, but this is the exact word I yell out when someone flushes while I'm in the hot shower, the the water temperature suddenly dips to freezing.

It sounds too futuristic. We'll probably have to use something like that someday.

Well, Turkey, you know. Not all that much H20, I guess. Lotta sand. Shoulda picked a wetter country if they didn't want to resort to this sort of thing. But no, all they wanted to do was rule, rule, rule, recruit Janissaries, lay siege to Vienna. Never gave a thought to saving water, all those years. That'll learn 'em.

We had one of those when I was a kid in Oklahoma. It was called "a sprinkler".

I thought the Turkish had baths.

Hogs Ate, etc. -
I started reading your post immediately after mine, and was initially startled by the notion that "You had one of those ... in Oklahoma." What, an Ottoman Empire? I thought I knew that period of history pretty well, but I've missed something ... Oh, wait. A lawn sprinkler. OK, I'm fine now.

Gray water sounds so benign, but considering the number of people who pee in the shower, it could possibly be described as yellow water.

Before using this one must get Tetanus and cholera shots.

Many Turks still haven't seen the invention called "the toilet without those two footprints showing you where to squat."
