I went swimming at one of my mom's friend's house when I was a child.
After I changed in the bedroom.. I noticed there were two toilets in the
bathroom!  I found out then it was a bidet.  Never had a chance to
experience one.  Mind you.. this was in a U.S.A. home.  I still don't know
why the woman had a bidet.  It isn't commonplace as most of us Americans
have demonstrated *Grins*
