When I was young, I watched a cartoon that said that you could take a bath by sitting in the toilet, and it would whip you around right after you flushed.
I learned two things.
1. Do not ever stick your foot down the hole. It will get stuck and cost someone a whole lot of money to fix, and, someone will be very angry with the fact that you can not get out of the toilet. Trust me.
2. You, in fact, do not get whipped around. The toilet overflows around you and then you will end up with toilet water all over the floor, and in your mouth. It is disgusting.
Do not try this at home!
