the Green Bucket


There are bidets in every hotel room that has a toilet here. I'm going to broach a subject that has appalled and fascinated all of us Americans in my work group here - THE GREEN BUCKET.

The bidet is a very nice thing to have. The problem is - once you're used to having one, what do you do, specifically how do you wipe in a sanitary way- when you're away from home?
Well, at the co-ed bathrooms near us at the refinery, what you do is fill a little green bucket part of the way full of hot water from the HOT WATER SPIGOT ON THE MACHINE WHERE FOLKS GET THEIR WATER FOR DRINKS. Then you carry your littler green bucket into the bathroom and add just the right amount of cold water from the sink faucet to make it the perfect temperature for your little heiny.  You then proceed to eliminate whatever you need to expel and you use the water in the green bucket like a bidet. How, you might ask? By making a huge mess on the walls, toilet seat, roll of toilet paper, and especially the floor and then you trail it out on your shoes. As does everyone unfortunate enough to come after you. I ask you, is this good citizen behavior? Some of us are more sensitive than others and won't touch the hot water drinking spigot, either. Then some people don't give a thought.
I think you know which camp I'm in.
