“We’ve really wanted to have an event that would bring the entire Wichita community together,” said Greer Cowley, director of donor relations and community engagement for HumanKind Ministries. “We know how important it is to bring different groups together.”

What a crappy idea!

It was a moving gesture, but do you really have to leave a deposit before having it sent on to one of your neighbors?

That's not the proper way to play musical chairs.

Flush Away Poverty ..? Egad. Is there no bounds of the depth they will plumb?

Painted Toilet opened for The 1910 Fruitgum Co.

I hope they put one in front of the police department, 'cuz you know, at least they'd have something to go on.

Your educational moment of the day: (from wikipedia)

Contrary to popular legend, Sir Thomas Crapper did not invent the flush toilet. He was, however, in the forefront of the industry in the late 19th century, and held nine patents, three of them for water closet improvements such as the floating ballcock. His flush toilets were designed by inventor Albert Giblin, who received a British patent for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", a siphon discharge system.[63] Crapper popularized the siphon system for emptying the tank, replacing the earlier floating valve system which was prone to leaks.[64][63][65]

If you find a floating ballcock, may I suggest you try adjusting the water level to a lower setting or raising the seat level.

Holy crap!

"“We’re really wanting to start a movement,” Cowley said." Guess it must be a bowel movement.

My uncle used to be an auto flush toilet salesman….
Talk about a tankless job!

Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Please tip your waitstaff generously! Are you

Thanks DRD!

Thanks, LeDud, for the history lesson. Next time the urge arises, I'll tell people I need to take a Giblin.

This will be a big hit with homeowner associations.
