What crap.

Gold is a great heat conductor. Can you imagine sitting your warm tush down on it during the winter?

No thanks!

The cold-gold seat problem was solved long ago:
Toilet Seats

While I am emulating Keats
My brother fabrics toilet seats,
The which, they say, are works of art,
Aesthetic features of the mart;
So exquisitely are they made
With plastic of a pastel shade,
Of topaz, ivory or rose,
Inviting to serene repose.

Rajahs I'm told have seats of gold,--
(They must, I fear, be very cold).
But Tom's have thermostatic heat,
With sympathy your grace to greet.
Like silver they are neon lit,
Making a halo as you sit:
Then lo! they play with dulcet tone
A melody by Mendelssohn.

Oh were I lyrical as Yeats
I would not sing of toilet seats,
But rather serenade a star,--
Yet I must take things as they are.
For even kings must coyly own
Them as essential as a throne:
So as I tug the Muse's teats
I envy Tom his toilet seats.

From: Rhymes For My Rags by Robert W Service 1956 I think the whole point of this poem is Robert Service wanted an excuse to slip "teats" into a poem.

That's very good.

The Japanese have fantastic toilet seats, heated being one of their lesser features. I'm always afraid that I'll die by electrocution using them (it happens! the Japanese are a mad, man, mad bunch)

I am willing to bet that that gold throne has not a lick of heat anywhere.

Or you can just drink a lot of Goldschläger. Costs less and if you're going to be on your knees examining contents of the toilet bowl you might as well make it a two-fer.

"Teats" does not rhyme with "seats."

Just sayin...

Huh. Fancy toilet seats, $6k or so for some models. Hell, I thought they were all still crapping through holes in the floor.
