Hello, Joseph here. Until now, despite being listed as a contributor on the blog, I have contributed, in actuality, close to nothing. I have two reasons for this: 1) Megan has done an excellent job thus far of chronicling every thing in our communal lives that is somewhat important. The things that happen to me alone, and that she doesn't care enough about to chronicle (sports, fantasy sports, sports), wouldn't really interest anyone anyway, and; 2) Nothing has really stirred me to the point of contribution. Until now. And so, as a "guest contributor," I bring you the traveling installment series Bidets of our Lives. The purpose of this series is to shed light on the diversity of bidets that we are "experiencing" on our trip around the world. I will provide pictures, as well as a brief review - some pros and cons - and a final rating. At the outset I would just like to thank Megan for allowing me to lower the level of discourse on the family blog. She knows how important this is to me.
And so without further delay - the Turkish bidet.
The Turkish bidet is confusing. It takes a minute and a triple-take to really figure out the purpose of that metal protrusion. Once you turn the knob on the wall, however, and get soaked by the high pressure water, all becomes clear.
Pros:
1) High pressure for maximum cleaning.
2) Convenience?
Cons:
1) A certain repulsion bred by what we will call "proximity."
2) Small surface area coverage.
3) Impalement.
Final Rating:
1.5 Bidets*
Until next time, like sands through the hourglass, these are the Bidets of our Lives.
*This is a 5-bidet rating system. None of this 4-max-score crap. That always bothers me. Five should be the standardized max score, worldwide.
This is precisely the kind of material I expect from Joseph
