Now wash your hands

Today is…

Global Handwashing Day

Next week…

International Day of Arse Wiping

…and not with the neck of a goose!

But seriously, keep those faecal coliforms in check; you know it makes sense.

    Now that is a day I can support though direct action!

    After next week’s international arse wiping day perhaps there should be a campaign for the eradication of dewdrops!

    Indeed, Shaun, you clearly have no time for lazy amateur nature photographers.

    I was thinking of those little drops that remain after a pee!

    Ah yes, the ones that the wife is forever complaining about.

    Talking of toilet-related topics, when I was in Belgium the other week, a Dutchman was favourably comparing the liberality of life in Brussels to that in Amsterdam.

    He illustrated this with an anecdote about the day his neighbour, who lived in the flat beneath his, knocked on his door and asked him if he cold refrain from aiming his jet directly at the water in the bowl, since he could hear it downstairs, and asking him if he could direct it at the side instead.

    Maybe there’s a market in crowded countries for piss silencers.

    You jest, looby, but they take such things very seriously indeed in Tschermany. A German’s Ruhezeit is sacrosanct.
