Having a pee and a crap

Have you ever seen a cowboy film where they
show one of the characters having a pee or a
crap?

I've thought of that for many years now, but
was reminded of it when I watched the late
comedian Dave Allen on TV this week, who said
exactly the same thing.

The closest bit of realism I've seen was when
I watched one of Clint Eastwood's westerns,
the one where Clint rides into town and makes
a bee-line for the nearest whore-house ...
he meets up with a woman who insists he take
a bath before they have sex.

After a few weeks in the saddle rounding up
cattle, those cowboys must have been very
smelly in real life.

And what did they use for toilet paper out on
the range, or when crossing very dry areas
(when water was scarce)? If beans were a main
part of their diet, they must have had to crap
a lot, resulting in very itchy and sore
bottoms.

I've often thought that makers of high fibre
cereals are in league with those who make
toilet paper .... I use lots of it! I'll
spare you the sordid details.

.................

A doctor on the radio this morning said that
detox diets were crap. He reckoned that all
you need to do is to drink some water, get
some exercise and fresh air, and allow your
body to recover by itself. Sounds like
common sense to me.

I found it quite ironic that on the day the news was reporting that detox diets are a waste of time, Channel 4 devoted a whole hour to that dietician who presents 'you are what you eat' presenting her list of top 10 bad things to eat/drink. She's the one that has the unhealthy obsession with crap. :-)

Yes, I agree with you 100% about the dietician ... some of the recipes in her cookbook are good, though.
