It took me years to learn not to say this, even though I like a wide variety of teas.
Why scientists marry late.

Colorist on the last one was being really sloppy with the blue fill. Wiped out the spines of both porcupines in the third panel.
The Bizarro is actually something my wife would like: she has mobility issues and a bad shoulder, and would love to be able to flush without having to reach. I’ve looked and didn’t find any products to help with this.
I’m thinking of creating such a product, sound-activated like that product from the 80s; I’ll call this one “The Crapper” (until I get sued into oblivion)!
phsiii, that sounds like a great idea if you can get it to work. A foot pedal might be easier, though.
The later days at Megacorp had toilets fitted with electro-optical triggers. This avoided the problem of some idiot not flushing on the way out. You did need to be a bit careful and not move around too much or it might flush when you weren’t planning it. I will confess that, as I lived close to work, I often just hopped in the Venerable Bronco and went home for that.
The problem with the tea one is that although the lady has crap tons of stuff, she doesn’t actually have much in the way of actual variety of teas — she has some herbal teas, and bunches of crappy flavored tea, where they mix some inferior tailings of broken leaf tea with flavorings, and has one can of “black” tea, and no green tea whatsoever. So if I were to answer her, “Darjeeling, please,” her response would be, “uhh….”, and I would have to amend my response to, “whatever black tea you have”. She doesn’t even have crappy Earl Grey!
Brian in STL (4): I’ve encountered many autoflushers, mostly triggered by a motion detector behind your back. The detector needs to be very short-range, lest if always flush as you approach the thing.
One such place is in a school. you just made me wonder of kids get used to this and then don’t learn to flush for themselves.
I have heard of various high tech toilets either in production or in development. Just seems like technical overreach to me.
I’ve seen toilets with foot-pedal flushers.
I thought about some sort of foot-pedal, but she wouldn’t be able to do that safely.
