So, this afternoon, when I got home from work, I was faced with a tough choice: go check my e-mail... or poop.
Both were insistent urges. And since I do use a MacBook Pro as a "desktop replacement" machine, the thought did cross my mind to bring the laptop into the bathroom and check my e-mail while I pooped. But the thought of balancing a laptop on my bare thighs while I answered nature's call seemed fraught with peril.
And then it hit me... a wall-mounted, fold-down ironing board at just the right height... toilet desk. Right? Right? I see a lot of you frowning out there, especially my wife, but it makes sense. In our overworked, overscheduled lives, why sacrifice precious minutes of productivity just to poop?
Yup. Better than calling it a toilet desk, we could call it a potty desk. I have looked on Google and aside from some gags where someone suggested putting a toilet at your desk, I couldn't find anyone pitching a toilet desk or potty desk. It's brilliant. All I need is funding... and a domain. Nooooo! Someone already has pottydesk.com. Well, let's go to the site... nothing but a parked page full of ads. A squatter is sitting on pottydesk.com. Damn. Toiletdesk.com is taken too. Pottytable.com and pottyoffice.com are available.
I'm telling you, it's the bathroom of the future.

No. No. No.
The bathroom is where you retreat to think and read, not work.
What better way to think and read but to have a table in front of you?
I think you are approaching the name from the wrong direction. I did a thesaurus search on 'potty' and it came up blank. Go figure. I just don't think potty is the word to use for this brilliant idea. With potty there is the definition of loopy, slightly insane and eccentric. You don't want that connotation with your product.
How about ToiToiTable.com? It is available.
With Toi Toi Table and Toi by itself as a search term we (notice I just cut myself in on this deal) find 'Table of Isotopes' (smart and busy people), Times of India (foreign market), and best of all, Township Officials of Illinois (Government contracts!!!)
I can help collect the funding when it starts coming in. Hey! We can sell them on eBay!
If we need an address to run this through I know of a UPS store at 110 W. 9th St. Wilmington Delaware that doesn't vet their customers.
