Reminds me of an old joke, it ends with the doctor saying to his

It can't have been *that* old. How long have automatic toilets been
around?

In the novel "Puckoon" (1963), by Skike Milligan, a castle owner had a
very special toilet built. It might have included a water squirter and a
hot air dryer, but I've forgotten that level of detail. What I do
remember is that, among its other features, it could be elevated and
then moved around. One the floor below were painted the portraits of a
number of traditional enemies of the family.
