My inner five year old weighs in
Well, it’s helpful to know that bowl water “entry points” factor into determining lower digestive tract health. Guess I’ll try visualizing Greg Louganis during my next elimination and see if that helps. Except for that time at the ’88 Seoul Summer Olympics when he hit his head on the 3-meter board – wouldn’t want that mess.
Reading this, I was reminded of a scene in The Madness of King George in which the royal physician was finally reprimanded for his scatological diagnostic fixation (and here I’m roughly paraphrasing): “The persistent excellence of the stool has been one of this illness’ most tedious features. When will you accept that a man may be perfectly capable of a robust and complete evacuation and still be a complete stranger to reason?”
Or something to that effect. I’ll shut up now.
