This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We try and bring you daily business episodes, episodes about private equity and a lot more. Today's topic is Japanese toilets and European vacations. So here's the deal. If you're from the United States and you're as provincial as I am, meaning traditionally a Midwesterner from the United States, You are not an overly sophisticated person. You're fine. And I have a relatively quick mind and I view myself as relatively smart, but not overly sophisticated. So when you're in a European toilet at a nice hotel and you see something called the Japanese toilet remote control, you think without understanding that that's really cool. That Japanese toilet remote control probably flushes the toilet.
And here's the message to all of those that are provincial travelers like me. The Japanese remote control toilet thing does not flush the toilet. All I can tell you is when I used the Japanese remote control toilet thing, I ended up splashing all over the toilet in a way that was unseemly. And so this is an educational episode for those that were not aware of But don't use that Japanese remote control thing. It doesn't flush the toilet. And it created quite a mess in our beautiful hotel room. That's my thought for today on provincialism and being the ugly American in Europe. Just no knowledge, no understanding. But to focus back on just using the regular toilet flush mechanism, not the Japanese remote toilet flush thing.
