    Bidets are not a mystery! They're for keeping clean! You use much less paper, a bit more water, get cleaner, and drying yourself on a towel (used just for this purpose) is much more comfortable than using paper.

    Just an interjection -- next time someone says "walla!" I'm going to mentally smack them in the face. What you mean is "voil!!"

    Typo?

    "Voila!"

    ;-}

    ps. Me old mate Robert Rankin uses "wallah!" sometimes... I presume he is being ironic.

    I think the first exclamation mark was an accented 'a' that the forum didn't pick up (see here.
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    It was an accented a, yes - in the other direction. It's supposed to be an acute accent, not a grave one. Silly forum weirdness.

    To be fair, even shaving won't mean most women of reproductive age will need less toilet paper. Blood soaks through it faster!
