MonkeyMan cultural observation #1: toilets

HeeHee part-time monkeys!
Am I the only one who has notice how much water there is in the toilet bowls here? The water almost reaches your butt when you sit down!
Is it just because everything else in the US is over sized and so toilets have larger tanks? Does that mean people here take larger poo-poos?


Please, the whole "going green" ideology has really hit hard, at least here in nyc. Everyone carries around their reusable bags and is going around planting trees in gardens, but no one seems to be thinking about water.
According to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, New Yorkers consume 1068.7 million gallons of water EVERYDAY!
