Yesterday night, I swallowed accidentally an ice-cube.
When I did my business on the toilet this morning, the ice cube didn't come out.
Should I go to the hospital? Take castor oil?
I need your help, thanks in advance.
@Walter Hinteler,
Patience Walter. Patience. It will pass.
Walter, I once heard that all German toilets have a little ledge for the "business" to rest on so you can inspect it before flushing away, for health reassurance. Is this true?
Anyhow, maybe the ice was embedded in the ca-ca so you couldn't see it?
@roger,
Is it painful? I mean, it was a rather large ice cube, and it was very, very cold!
@Walter Hinteler,
Drink lots and lots of ice-cold beer.
What was the question again?

I suppose, still 80% to 90% of our toilets have this ledge ("WC-FlachspĆ¼lbecken", washout toilet).
I don't think it has to do with health inspections but it's done for a rather practical reason: you don't get splashed from below.

Especially, when you have to get stool samples: it's a lot easier to do than following the description in the
NHS's 'how to ...'
I know how you must feel. I swallowed a ham sandwich last night.
@Walter Hinteler,
Let me suggest that you swallow 20 more ice cubes in order to keep the first one company.
Best case scenario? They establish a productive society of evolved bacteria laced and sentient ice cubes in your gut.
You will become their god, their own personal ice garden of Eden if you will....
@tsarstepan,
Thanks for your kind and helpful advice!
Done.
Those bacteria are quite big, though
I once read an article in Cosmopolitan (a womens magazine) in the 1970s entitled "10 ways to liven up your sex life" or similar, where the lady readers were advised to keep some ice cubes by the bed and jam one up the guy's ass at the moment of orgasm. For me that would be grounds for divorce (I think).
