The "Otji" Dry--and Presumably Stinky--Toilet


So this is what they're pooping in in parts of Namibia these days, which is a good thing, since they have a water shortage. We at Potty Mouth are all for being green (when we're not being brown!) and conserving precious resources.

But man, no water to dissipate the smell of your poop?! We are instantly reminded of the German-style toilet with its famed "inspection shelf". The inspection shelf also ostensibly exists to conserve water. But the longer the poop is in contact with the air, the more intensely it reeks. And man, in the Otji toilet they let the bucket fill for about SIX MONTHS!!
