Why, because these things flush with awesome power. I can take a 10" shit and wipe my ass 10 times and it will still go down.
Put a 10 gallon (per toilet) presurized water tank in your attic, and hang a flush chain through a hole in the ceiling down to the bathroom.
Let us know if everything “comes out” okay 
The Canadians have one thing over us in the U.S., decent flush toilets. I go across the border to purchase any toilets I install.
English toilets are crap. The water shoots down into the bowl and drains away instantly, leaving half of your “business” behind. Mine can’t even handle a couple of squares of TP without flushing two or three times. Not only that, but the noise wakes up the whole house if you flush at night.
I was impressed with the toilets in America when I was staying there. They seem to fill up with water, then drain in one go afterwards. The siphon effect always seemed to take care of whatever I put down it, and it was very quiet, too. Those jet-action toilets were cool as well, but I couldn’t believe the noise they made. I almost had an accident in my boxer shorts first time I flushed one of those.
I always wanted to put a urinal in our bathroom when the house was built, but I was over-ruled.
Sure.
She never had to piss with morning wood.
IIRC, public restroom facilities use a larger diameter pipe than standard household plumbing.
Although in the back of Popular Mechanics, I saw an ad for a kind of mini-urinal designed for household use.
I’ve heard of pressure-assisted and electric pump-assisted toilets designed for household use that deliver more power than is possible with a regular gravity-powered toilet, but I don’t really know anything about them.
How true.
They take away the urinal option and then have the nerve to bitch at us for missing the bowl.
I wanna see them hit the bowl from halfway accross the room with a kink in their back. Ain’t easy first thing out of bed.
Those pressure assisted toilets could flush anything you put in them.They aren’t much more than regular ones.But they are louder.
My father is a contractor. When my parents were remodeling our house, they decided to install a urinal in one of the bathrooms. My mother went to the plumbing supplier to buy it. The clerk assumed that she must mean a bidet. (This was the early 70’s, and there was a fad for bidets at the time.)
“I want a urinal.”
“You mean a bidet.”
“No, I mean a urinal.”
“Let me show you our bidets.”
Mom and the clerk argued for some time about it.
Finally Mom exclaimed “I have seven boys!”
The clerk said “Oh. You want a urinal.”
Actually, Mom only had three boys (plus Dad). But she finally got the urinal.
We have pressure-assist toilets in our house and they are fabulous. We got them at the Home Depot. They were about $175 apiece.
When we moved in, one toilet was a low-flow, which wouldn’t flush anything more substantial than pee-pee, and the other was an old model that used massive amounts of water per flush. So, we replaced both and have been very satisfied ever since. They are loud, but they work as well as the toilets in public places. We’ve never tried to flush a grapefruit, but they do handle any of the more normal deposits. I’d highly recommend them.
Remember the smokeless ashtrays???
Does anyone make a gasless toilet? You know, something with a fan attached that would suck up farts while you move your bowels?
I would buy that.
Even with the exhaust fan running and Lysol spray, I stink the place like crazy when I go. I feel so sorry for my family.

The dislexia in me saw this:
Does anyone make a glass toilet?
See through toilet. That would be cool.
Farmer: Can’t you steal office supplies like a normal human being?
Heh, on a hilarious sidenote, this reminds me of that one Christmas episode of Conan where there was a guy on a toilet made of ice as a Christmas lawn ornament.
