#16: But Shrek Uses an Outhouse…
This is a surprising hill to die on when you realize that, for about half of the world’s population, anything can be a toilet. There are some pretty fancy toilets out there, but we’ve never heard anyone brag about a specific set of porcelain thrones before. Plus, it’s not like the U.S. is free of porta potties.
The reply didn’t have to go as hard as it did with the dig on American education, but maybe it drove it home. We also love that the oh-so-special American toilets are just known as “normal plumbing” everywhere else. Can you imagine the dumbfounded expression they would have when they realize they don’t have to manually flush in other countries?
