I am sure there is no problem finding feces to throw around. Parasites must really look forward to this day.

Serious participants ignite the cow dung first.

And if this fails to bring good health, they can just dump the dead bodies in the river.

I didn’t know I had relatives in India.

I’ll have to invite them to this year’s family reunion.

We have the Cow Pie Fight on Saturday.

Right before Pin The Tail On The Badger.

Truth is always stranger than fiction.

“T’was the night of the King’s castration,
“All the counts, viscounts, and no-accounts,
“Were flinging camel dung at one another in the courtyard,
“For horse s*** was then unknown.

Yet another reason not to go to India, ever. They can keep their Taj Mahal.

....”Yet another reason not to go to India”....

There are a gazillion reasons not to venture into that country. Bad place at every level.
