One lucky bum will get paid big bucks just to do your business.

Bidet brand Tushy is recruiting a “VP of Fecal Matters” to track their unmentionable habits for three months. The position pays $10,000. Really.

The company, and bidets in general, soared in popularity during the pandemic due to toilet paper shortages. Tushy wants to capitalize on that momentum.

­­“Even with the great toilet paper shortage of 2020, many Americans are still wiping like it’s 1899, sacrificing millions of trees, billions of gallons of water and buttholes every year,” said Tushy CEO Miki Agrawal in a press release. “For too long, American butts have been governed by the tyranny of big TP.”

Hear that big TP? Tushy wants to de-throne you.

Document Your Toilet Habits — and Get Paid $10,000

Applications for Tushy’s VP of Fecal Matters close July 7. The 100% work-from-home gig will start July 22 and last at least three months.

Over the course of those three months, you’ll document your experience using a Tushy bidet, using the Bristol Stool Chart in your analysis. You’ll also compare other bathroom products against your Tushy bidet, interview your friends and family about their bathroom habits and create videos and other social media content.

To qualify, you must be a “real pooping human” between the ages of 21 and 121 who’s candid and shameless in your scatalogical discussions.

You can start your application now. Be sure to include a 60-to-90-second video that explains why you’re perfect for the gig.

The top five applicants will be invited to interview on a live Zoom call on July 14, during which you’ll have to outline what you plan to doo in your months as VP of Fecal Matters.
