I want to tell you about a guy named Jeb Corliss. He has a most unusual occupation as a professional BASE jumper, skydiver, and wingsuit flyer.

It’s called Numi and it is unlike any toilet you have ever seen or sat upon. Numi is Kohler’s most advanced toilet combining design, technology and engineering to bring you the finest in personal comfort and cleansing.
