Spelled Scone, but pronounced “skoon”. :^) Unless it’s pastry.

In America there are no titles, princess, king or queen.
Everyone has to squat to poop. Royalty included.
Have you ever had burritos, frijoles, kimchi and Kirin beer in the same evening? Maybe a touch of saki? In San Antonio? On the River Walk?
Habenero sauce with Chinese red peppers.
I’m lucky I survived.
Mama san took care of me.

In Boy Scouts, we had to dig latrines and used found wood to build a sort of sawhorse, so in that case, we didn’t have to squat to poop. It wasn’t as nice as it sounds, though.

In the U.S. Army you dug your latrine 75 yds from the Mess tent.
I don’t know why I posted that. Something about JP8...
