A seal for use with a toilet bowl has a horizontal lip with a horizontal ledge beneath the lip. An annular base of the seal is positioned upon the lip. The interior edge of the seal is positioned upon the lip above the interior surface of the toilet bowl. The exterior edge is positioned upon the lip above the exterior surface of the toilet bowl. The central extent of the seal is spaced above the lip. The lower end of an upstanding finger of the seal is integrally formed with the base above the central extent. The upstanding finger has a lower extent in a linear configuration extending outwardly from the vertical.

1. A toilet seal system for use with a toilet bowl having interior and exterior surfaces forming a horizontal upper lip with a horizontal ledge beneath the lip, the system comprising: a seal having an annular base positioned upon the lip, the seal having an interior edge positioned upon the lip above the interior surface, the seal having an exterior edge positioned upon the lip above the exterior surface, the seal having a central extent spaced above the lip, the seal having an upstanding finger with a lower end integrally formed with the base above the central extent, the upstanding finger having a lower region extending upwardly and radially inwardly with respect to the base at a first angle, the upstanding finger having an upper region extending upwardly and radially inwardly with respect to the base at a second angle greater than the first angle; and three rotationally spaced coupling projections integrally formed with and extending downwardly from the seal, the coupling projections being circumferentially spaced around the lip, each coupling projection of the three rotationally spaced coupling projections having an inner component terminating in a horizontal segment and encompassing a portion of the lip and the horizontal ledge, each coupling projection of the three rotationally spaced coupling projections having an outer component extending downwardly beneath the horizontal ledge, the seal and the coupling projections being fabricated of an elastomeric material. 2. The system as set forth in claim 1 and further including: a urine guard removably positionable on the toilet bowl lip at a forward region, the urine guard having a three sided configuration with a long leg above the exterior surface at an elevated height above the lip of the toilet, the urine guard having an apex adjacent to the interior surface at a height beneath the toilet bowl lip whereby urine sprayed outwardly by a young male user will enter the urine guard and fall into the toilet, the urine guard having an attachment assembly extending downwardly to encompass the lip of the toilet and the forward and rearward extents of the seal, the attachment assembly having an upwardly extending recess for the receipt of the finger of the seal, the urine guard being fabricated of an elastomeric material, the urine guard adapted to compress when the toilet seat is lowered to contact the urine guard. 3. A toilet seal system (10) for abating the escape of urine and odor from a toilet and from the space between a toilet bowl and a toilet seat and from the space between the toilet seat and toilet lid, the abating of urine and odor being done in a safe, sanitary, clean and economic manner, the system comprising: the toilet bowl (20) having a generally hemispherical interior surface (22) and a generally hemispherical exterior surface (24) larger than the interior surface, the interior and exterior surfaces forming a horizontal upper edge (26) with an annular configuration, the interior and exterior surfaces forming a lip (28) of a first thickness adjacent to the upper edge, the interior and exterior surfaces beneath the lip having a thin second thickness less than the first thickness, the interior surface forming a horizontal ledge beneath the lip (30), the toilet bowl being fabricated of a rigid ceramic material;a seal (34) having an annular base (36) positioned upon the lip, the seal having an interior edge (38) positioned upon the lip above the interior surface, the seal having an exterior edge (40) positioned upon the lip above the exterior surface, the seal having a central extent spaced above the lip, the seal having an upstanding finger (42) with a lower end integrally formed with the base above the central extent, the upstanding finger having a lower extent (44) in a linear configuration extending outwardly from the vertical at an angle of less than 15 degrees relative to the base, the upstanding finger having an upper extent (46) extending outwardly from the vertical at an angle of greater than 15 degrees relative to the base;three rotationally spaced coupling projections (50) integrally formed with and extending downwardly from the seal, the coupling projections being circumferentially spaced around the lip, each coupling projection of the three rotationally spaced coupling projections having an inner component (52) terminating in a horizontal segment and encompassing the lip and a portion of the horizontal ledge, each coupling projection of the three rotationally spaced coupling projections having an outer component (54) extending downwardly beneath the horizontal ledge, the seal and the coupling projections being fabricated of an elastomeric material;a toilet seat (58) pivotally coupled to the toilet at a rearward region (60), the toilet seat movable between a raised position out of contact with the seal and a lowered position in contact with the seal thus urging the central extent of the base in close proximity to the lip of the toilet and pivoting the finger downwardly and outwardly to eliminate any opening between the seat and the toilet for abating odor from the toilet escaping into surrounding environs;a toilet lid (64) pivotally coupled to the toilet at the rearward region (66), an annular ring (68) extending downwardly from the toilet lid, the toilet lid movable between a raised position out of contact with the toilet seat and a lowered position with the annular ring in contact with the toilet seat, the annular ring being fabricated of an elastomeric material;an urine guard (72) removably positionable on the toilet bowl and the seat at a forward region, the urine guard having a three sided configuration with a long leg (74) above the exterior surface at an elevated height above the lip of the toilet, the urine guard having an apex (76) adjacent to the interior surface at a height beneath the upper edge of the toilet bowl whereby urine sprayed outwardly by a young male user will enter the urine guard and fall into the toilet, the urine guard having an attachment assembly (78) extending downwardly to encompass the lip of the toilet and the forward and rearward extents of the seal, the attachment assembly having an upwardly extending recess (80) for the receipt of the finger of the seal, the urine guard being fabricated of an elastomeric material, the urine guard adapted to compress when the seat is lowered to contact the urine guard.
