 |
|
Japan's leading toilet manufacturer Toto is offering free repairs to 180,000 toilets after some of them caught fire.
There have been three incidents of the electric bidet accessory in Toto's Z series catching fire.
"Fortunately nobody was using the toilets when the fire broke out and there were no injuries," a company spokesman said.
"The fire would have been just under your buttocks," she added.
=============================
So the smell was burning. Who would of thought?

Would there have been a "bum's rush" to evacuate the toilet when it caught fire?

Once again, this brings to mind the Jasper Carrott sketch 'Explosive Gases' on the album The Unrecorded Jasper Carrott. The one about setting light to a fart  (Don't try it at home kids!!)
