Sheryl Crow: Have no fear, the future is Bumfodderless!

"A Bumfodderless Future? Scientist Dreams of Toilet Paper-Free Era" from Der Spiegel has the perfect solution to Sheryl Crow's recent concerns about America's overuse of toilet paper and its effects on the globe - the toilet without toilet paper -and a comfy seat to boot. 

Siegfried Hustedt, a Procter and Gamble physicist, is not only concerned with the consistency of the paper which while fancy, often decomposes in an undesirable way - but with the sore posterior it leaves one.  While Hustedt has done extensive research on toilet paper of different plies, etc. - his ultimate dream is the paperless toilet - a little jet of water from the toilet washing the delicate rear tissues and then a blow dry job.  What an invention - hope he has a patent for this gem of a seat.  It seems like something that one could have in the car as well - with the seat being pulled out from under one, the waster removed and then the washlet and blow dry being done, hands free!

Sheryl Crow's Dirty Sleeves has yet another hairbrained idea from Crow to save on paper napkins - perhaps Herr Siegfried could get on this one next...
