OP I've found that most people are fascinated by our bodily functions and all pertaining to them. This appears to very much the case on this board, so I've given you this link.

About half-way down the page is a biographical note about George Jennings, who constructed the first Public Toilet (bathroom to you US'ns) in the UK.
This poem, in particular, caught my eye and my fancy
I'front the Royal Exchange and Underground,
Down Gleaming walls of porc'lain flows the sluice
That out of sight decants the Kidney Juice,
Thus pleasuring those Gents for miles around,
Who, crying for relief, once piped the sound,
Of wind in alley-ways. All hail this news!
And let the joyous shuffling queues
For Gentlemanly Jennings' most well found
Construction, wherein a penny ope's the gate
To Heav'n's mercy and Sanitary waves
Received the Gush with seemingly, cool obedience,
Enthroning Queen Hygeia in blessed state
On Crapper's Rocket: with rapturous ease men's cares
Shall flow away when seated at convenience!
