John Thain “commode with legs”: Thain “commode with legs” (photo)
By Clarencia Cynrae on January 22nd, 2009Commode with legs? Look here. John Thain was in constant threat of needing the toilet. Thain needed a commode with legs. It was not any ordinary commode with legs. It was a commode with legs that cost $35,000. Some sites nicknamed Thain as John “commode with legs” Thain …
John Thain announced today he leaves Bank of America as Chief Executive with immediate effect. John Thain is resigning from the company. Thain named Brian Moynihan as his replacement Chief Executive of Bank of America.
I pity the person who has to empty the receptacle of the commode with legs. Does Thain wash his hands after using his commode with legs?

A commode with legs is a piece of furniture (not a toilet). They were in use in France around the late 17th century. It’s like a chest of drawers with a flat top (usually marble) and is very decorative.
I’m sure that Thain had access to a more modern restroom facility.

Almost everyone is taking the meaning of commode to mean the toilet with legs.

I dont think Americans care what John spends his money on, but the fact is this was not his money this was is tax paying money and we will be paying for that so called peice of furniture for the next 10 years. Think about it, he just spent more on a commode then a soldier and 60% of Americans make in a year,and it these people that are paying for it not alone all the other assholes that have are money and spending it on stupit shit like John. so I dont think anyone gives a shit if it’s toilet or a pice furniture its the price, timming and who is gettingh the bill for it.
