I was going to leave this as a comment on Lawrence’s blog<\/a>, but then I thought it’d be more fun here.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it turns out that the gold toilet exists, but it didn’t belong to Yanukovych<\/a>. Here’s another example, just to motivate discussion<\/a>. Anyway, questions:<\/p>\n

1. Why a gold toilet? I admit, I’m not exactly the dictator type, or even the guy with more money than sense type. But I’m thinking, if I have that much money, I just don’t see the utility of a gold toilet. I’d rather have one of those fancy Japanese toilets, though I’d think about disabling Bluetooth on it first<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Where do you go to get a gold toilet? Is this something that’s commonly stocked in plumbing supply stores in Kiev? I’m guessing this is a special order item, but who do you order it from? I didn’t turn up any on Amazon. Do you perhaps get a goldsmith to make one for you? And do you trust your plumbing to a goldsmith<\/strong>, rather than experts? Like an actual plumber<\/strong> and a company that specializes in making toilets? This seems to me to be another argument for going Japanese with your high-end plumbing.<\/p>\n

3. How do you clean a gold toilet? Do conventional bowl cleaners attack the gold? Can you put those cleaning tablets in the tank? If you have a gold toilet, you’re probably not using a bowl brush you bought at the Dollar Tree, so where do you get a matching brush and other accessories? Perhaps you commission those with the toilet, so you get everything from the same source.<\/p>\n

But all of this seems like a huge pain in the butt, frankly. Even if you are a dictator and have people to manage these things for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
