How would you model this?

There are three separate appliances here
A 'WC/water-closet/toilet-pan/crapper/bog/lavvy/john/head/etc...' which is the thing that most of us have in our 'bathroom' at home - you might remember that you sit on it [or hover] to do a 'poo' [or a 'wee' if you are a woman, or a 'gay man']...
A 'Bidet' - this looks similar to a WC, but it has taps [faucets] and a considerably smaller waste outlet pipe... you use this for washing your 'nether-regions' for post-'poo/wee/sex' or for 'general cleanliness' operations - it is somewhat peculiar to the 'French world' - but it's not unique - I had one in may last house in the UK - which was useful for washing your feet... and people with more money than sense have this extra fitment installed in their vast bathrooms
[Tip: never try to 'poo' in it - it just won't work !!!]The thing that's been illustrated is a 'Sluice' [euphemistically called a 'Disposal-Unit' in much of the USA]. This is a cross between the two things - it is used for emptying bed-pans or rinsing dirty linen etc - it's almost always found in a hospital or care-facility... [I imagine it would be very uncomfortable to 'sit on', as there are the stainless-steel grid bars that protect the main parts from damage during contact with metal bed-pans etc, Doing a 'poo' in one, or trying to wash yourself in one would almost certainly result in you being ejected from the hospital, if not arrested for a 'misdemeanor' (or worse)]
So... please use each type of appliance responsibly... if in doubt seek advice from 'an adult' [but never one who you don't know, who is lurking around the lavatories.....]

Thanks for that explanation, TIG! -

just to finish some of the story with reference to the stainless-steel grid bars.
If you have ever tried to retrieve a sack of marbles from a storm water drain, you will understand the dangers of sitting on, or even hovering too close to, such a construction!

It's a sluice for washing away 'dirty stuff' - NOT for 'number twos' directly produced over it...
BUT the principle of its modeling remains the same........The common term for this device is a Bidet (pronounced Bee-day {French})
Mind you the tube rack is novel, if seemingly a bit uncomfortable and perhaps impractical.
Any Bidet I've seen uses a common toilet seat. You need to sit firmly down as it splashes a lot.You can't be serious, Joel?
TIG's on it....This is what we install our Slophoppers for:

A slophopper is used to discharge waste materials and is mainly used in hospitals (bedpan
discharge)No need to sit at all; generally used by some poor nurse while listening to some deluded old bastard on a hospital bed re-living his youth....!
Be back to modelling tomorrow; got a barby this afternoon and I'm thirsty.

My wife is a nurse at a hospice department but I doubt they have these installed (although therealmost all patients "use" bed pans). I'll ask however how they discharge the deposit. Maybe just throw out of the window.

The French would disagree.
The French disagree with everyone, so what? Robin Williams (whom I think is the funniest man alive) got it right about that, but I fail to see where he enlightened us with the pronunciation.
And Pilou, that photo is of what is commonly referred to (today) as a "Chamber-pot". There is no water washer as is common with Bidets'.
Anyway, I think this topic is going down the tubes and we should flush it now.

Thanks Eric. Originally, I had some Brooks and Dunn, but YouTube flagged me. Any suggestions on where I can find decent "legally free" background tunes?
Here is another one I tried to find this past weekend but could not. It was bookmarked here at the office.
