A while back you might have caught Steve Shannon’s post about ‘the bidet.’

Well, I have been aware of this WONDERFUL invention since the 1990’s.

I was in St. Louis for a job interview, incidentally it was an interview I had gotten with the help of Steve – he ALWAYS gets me jobs.

The company was WINING & DINING me, putting me up in the St. Louis Doubletree Hotel.

Not so fast!

It turns out no president ever stayed in that suite.

But Marie Osmond had, and that was good enough for me!

In that gigantic suite... there was a bidet.

I wasn't quite sure how to use it, but I eventually figured it out.

YOWZA!!

Now I KNEW WHY MARIE OSMOND WAS ALWAYS SMILIN’ EAR TO EAR!

But many years went by and I never used another bidet.

I do not know how this has not become a thing. 

I will NEVER go back to using toilet paper.

WOULD YOU :

A) USE A WATER HOSE TO CLEAN THEM OFF?

B) WIPE YOUR HANDS WITH PAPER TILL THEY WERE CLEAN?

Bidet attachments are available everywhere from local stores to online dealers.

It's only about $30 for a low end (pardon the pun) model and you can even get one with HEATED SEATS!

It’s a LIFE CHANGER.

And I owe it all to STEVE and MARIE.
