A cleansing assembly operative to clean an individual after use of a toilet bowl including a delivery conduit mounted within the toilet bowl beneath and adjacent to an outer rim of a bowl opening. An intake conduit is disposed in interconnecting relation between the delivery conduit and a water supply and at least partially defines a path of fluid flow of water therethrough from the water supply to and within said delivery conduit. A spout on the delivery conduit is disposed and structured to direct a forced flow of fluid onto a portion of an individual exposed through the toilet opening and a control assembly is connected to the inlet conduit in flow regulating relation to water passing along the path of fluid flow. An odor removal assembly is provided to eliminate or restrict odors resulting from the use of the toilet bowl.

A vehicle kill switch assembly includes a switch that is coupled to a vehicle. The switch is positioned beneath a driver's seat of the vehicle and the switch is electrically coupled to the ignition system of the vehicle. The ignition system is turned off when the switch is disengaged. A biasing unit is coupled to the vehicle and the driver's seat is coupled to the biasing unit. The biasing unit biases the driver's seat upwardly in the vehicle and the biasing unit is compressed when the driver sits in the driver's seat. The switch is engaged when the biasing unit is compressed to facilitate the vehicle to be driven. Conversely, the switch is disengaged when the biasing unit biases the driver's seat upwardly to inhibit the vehicle from being driven.
