Toilet

A toilet is a plumbing fixture and a disposal system primarily intended for the disposal of bodily wastes such as urine and feces. In addition to this primary purpose, it is frequently used to dispose of other bodily wastes such as menses, semen, and vomit, small items such as cigarette ash, cockroaches, dead fishes and other small pets, and in a pinch, contraband.
