What is Toilette a la Turque?

This toilet is a rather primitive way, from an outsider's perspective (and Peter's), to eliminate waste. The toilette consists of a hole positioned between two footrests. One must stand on the footrests, and aim one's waste into the hole. A Turk designed it, but the French added to the design by creating a high-pressure flushing device, which, if one is not careful, will soak one's pants and shoes when executed.
