I bet it was really tastefully done though.


$35,000 for a ‘Commode on Legs’. I wonder what it looked like?


Maybe it's salary and an accounting entry meant to indicate they treat their underlings like fecal matter?

On a more serious note, the only toilets I know with legs are for injured/disabled people who have issues with mobility, or they are temporary affairs meant to be taken camping. None of those seems likely to cost tens of thousands of dollars, even if they may be considered medical devices.

Here is one such example: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/712PPTaGQDL...

I can't actually see that having a price tag over a few hundred dollars. I could see it costing up to a few hundred dollars, if it's medical equipment, but only if it is somehow certified for certai weight ranges, durability standards, and made of special materials meant to difficult for bacteria to live on and easy to clean.

They do charge a lot for medical equipment, but not $35,000 for a toilet.



Somebody would have to empty it. Having someone handle my waste would bother me. I suppose some folks would think that is a benefit. "Yay! I am making poors deal with my poop!"



It's a funny, but correct word for a chest of drawers. Sadly, it's not a toilet.



It looked like John Thain. zing!
