I’ve had a lot of entrepreneurial ideas lately. None of them particularly good, but amusing nonetheless. I think my coup de gras is what I’m officially trademarking as the “SquatStrap”. Actually let me officially make that SquatStrap™ so no one steals my idea.

For the average What About Bob? germaphobe subway traveler, there’s the TranStrap. Now imagine we apply that idea to squat toilets: we take the TranStrap and attach a suction cup to the business end.
Forget the burning leg cramps from hovering above the bowl for five-ten minutes. After finding a suitable squat toilet, the user simply suctions the Strap to a nearby wall and presto! No more cramps from holding yourself up. Let your hands, not your hams, take the beating.
Imagine the entire worldwide community of backpackers with SquatStraps™. You could sidle up to your fellow leather tramping chaps as you hover virtually effortlessly over the bowl, chatting and giggling for hours while the SquatStrap™ does all the heavy lifting.
Sure, it’s a bit flawed. What if there’s no nearby wall, for example? It’s just a first draft, people. I’m still working out the kinks. Rome wasn’t built in a day, ya know.
