My son-in-law, JD Plumma is a hard working Professional Plumma and in time will build a nice retirement account for himself and the "Howler" for their "Golden Years". But first he must put three of my granddaughters through college, buy each of them a car, and support each of them after they graduate college until they can find employment to support themselves in the fashion that they are accustomed to.

The "Plumma" is somewhat of an inventor, always working on some type of project that will be humorous, fun, or explode. Perhaps, this time could have been directed in more lucrative fashion pertaining to his profession. With just a touch of initiative, he could be sitting back, enjoying the sun rays of tropical Hawaii as royalty checks rolled into his personal checking account. Retirement at 37, "How Sweet It Could Have Been".

The "Plumma" has several hobbies, of which rearing tropical or non tropical fish is one of them. I was shocked when I discovered a new product that not only incorporates his "hobby" but also his profession as a Plumma.
Knowing him as I do, he could have easily constructed this new device in his shop in less than a half hour. This is the newest renovation to "bathroom pleasure", the "Fish Privy". This is a standard functional toilet that has been altered to provides something to do besides read while visiting the "potty". The standard reservoir tank has been eliminated and in it's place an aquarium. It is slightly larger than the standard reservoir, however, when the flushing mechanism is activated, water flows from the aquarium to flush the toilet and additional tepid water flows into the aquarium. Through the flushing process, the aquarium stays clean which has always been a chore. The water is circulated several times each day so the oxygen levels remain high enough that no additional air pumps are required. Screens are inserted to prevent the accidental flushing of the fish, however, it is also very convenient when the time comes that you must flush a fish that has expired. A simple device, low production costs and the current manufacturer cannot keep up with the demand. In the event you were wondering, cost per unit is $2,750 for the basic model not counting installation fees. Those units that include a "bidet" and sound system escalate the cost per unit to $4,800. You do the math on the equation if you just sold a hundred units per year.
If I had known about it earlier, I would have given the Plumma a heads up on it. However, the LA market may still be available if a new and improved model could be built that would not infringe upon the current patent laws. Having given it some thought, I discovered the current company does not make a glass shower stall or bath tub that could also be utilized as an aquarium. Can you imagine how relaxing it would be to sit in a nice tub of hot water, bubble bath, glass of wine, with just the lights of a candle providing the natural light to see the fish swimming around you as you bathe in luxury. If I had something like that, stocked with Rainbow Trout, I may take a bath more often than once a month.
