But, basically he says that it's true, and that in the US toilets flush down clockwise, and in Australia it's the opposite, and toilets flush counter-clockwise and up creating a "giant brown twister." I know it's childish, but I found it hilarious...especially when he referred to it as a "crap tornado."
