I like a good flush.

Al: But today's toilets aren't worthy the name. they come in designer colors, they're too low, and when you flush 'em they make thias little weak, almost apologetic sound. Not a Ferguson. it only comes in white and when you flush it... Wooosh! That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot." Oh, if a ferguson could talk, the stories it could tell. And now I've got one of my very own.
