Dang, you must have been rich, all we had were pinecones and sand.

Mother fucker, is the bidet a joke to you?!

As it should be. We didn't go through all this evolution and technological development to not baby our backsides.

You can buy an effective Bidet for $30, and install it in 15 minutes. Why wouldn't you?

Definitely not a brand new sentence though. Dwight says that.

Kids these days with their splinter-free toilet paper

Funny thing is, I know exactly which post it is about, and I too have started closing the lid, otherwise I feel uncomfortable when forgetting it.
