I have several friends that all but refuse to use public restrooms because of the germs. If they are forced to use such facilities they will basically wrap their hands in paper towels so that the germs on everything that they touch will not be passed to their skin. Well it looks like the Japanese have invented one part of the solution to this problem, Toto. With the combination of faucets that turn on automatically and doors that open automatically you might not have to worry about picking up the germs from every disgusting person that never learned to wash their hands. You might just be able to stop at that gas station and feel cleaner in the bathroom than out behind the tree.

I could go into a bathroom and the only thing to touch my hands was the water coming out of the faucet. Now if only I could figure out how to use those squatting toilets...
