Learn something new everyday...I didn't know about the squating thing, although, i've traveled a lot in SE Asia...oh well... How else would somebody do that...And the pic is priceless...
I'm calling bull**** on the squatting thing just because there will be people who actually believe it. Even if Asians were the size of oompa loompas, no way in hell can they squat on a toilet and still aim for the water. The guy would have to be one of those lost of soldiers of Iwo Jima to think those small squat toilets are still in use. Maybe the smearer really had to go and let it rip mid squat.
Its true. When traveling through Asia and South Asia, I witnessed people squatting on Western toilets three times. Twice there was no door on the toilet, and once the guy hadn't locked the door and I accidentally opened the door to witness someone actually squatting on the Western style toilet. I later read up on why people use squat toilets or squat on Western style toilets and the rationale was actually pretty interesting. The whole concept is when you squat it allows for easier elimination. Thus if you are constipated it would provide for more effective relief. When you sit on a Western style toilet, your rectum is somewhat obstructed. Like this picture: Spoiler But when you squat the rectum is straight forward, as shown on the second picture. Read more about it here: http://www.toilet-related-ailments.com/squatting.html Obviously you can't squat on Western toilet if you are like 6 foot 5 and 300+ lbs, but most average people can.
Your compelling use of pictures has swayed me. I'll keep an indirect eye out on inquiring other people's squatting habits. I make no promises...
i use to work with a boss who had part of his colon removed. One night a coworker goes into the restroom and finds a feces covered seat and whatnot. turns out the GM could not poop straight thanks to said removed colon. that's an explanation
