My wife is into this eat and purge thing. I am really tired of having
vomit on the toilet seat. I know the Romans had these vomitoriums,

I didn't know until now that this is not what they called them, but I
thought the popular image was that the vomitorium was the room, not
the receptacle.

What's strange is that I had an uncle and aunt who were in Italy about
45 years ago, and after he got back he told us about these things, and
he called one a vomitorium. I'm sure that's where I heard about them.
(I"m going to ask my brother) I wonder if he read a crapola tour
book, or he went on a crapola tour.

I think I've heard of other false information given to tourists in
various countries, some because the guides don't know any better and
I'll bet some because they think it makes a good story.


and I did a google search and found this one.

This is what I had in mind for her, but where can I buy a fixture like
this?
