My great-great-grandfather came down with a bad case of dysentery in the 1870s West Virginia. He had to travel to check on property he owned during his suffering. In the 40-50 mile trip, he had to make many a hurried detour into the bushes to accommodate his malady.
On one such detour, he glanced down and saw that he had squatted over a coiled rattlesnake. He ran so quickly that he ripped the crotch seam out of his pants, which ended up as nothing but two separate legs.
My grandfather used to laugh that his grandfather had promptly drowned the rattlesnake and then could not have a bowel movement for another month (and needed a laxative to accomplish that task then).
One of the many, many 'colorful' stories in my Appalachian family.
It's not just Africa! My daughter said, when she was at work the other day, a woman took her kid outside the store and the kid pooped on the sidewalk near the front door. This was in Norfolk, Virginia! The employees had to go out and clean it up! *shudder in disgust*
So your idea of "roughing it" is Motel 8, too.
I believe the Revvvvvv-rend Jesse Jackson's actual quote was, "Stay out the bushes!" : )
Not far if she didn't get her pants pulled up.
Oh boy....
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Nah. They already had grubs on the grill.
Brings this to mind.
Drew Barrymore, appearing on the new MTV eco-tourism show, "Trippin" apparently was enthralled by the lack of modern sanitary facilities in the Chilean forest and gleefully bragged, "I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome."
Wonder if that's what happened to JLO?
Joke on Leno last nite:
Husband Marc Anthony is painting a portrait of his wife JLO. He's using a brush for the top part, and a roller for the bottom...
LOL!!
The 20 meter hobble run event.
There was a Bevis and Butthead episode like that.
It seems the guys here in Sweden also are not shy about heeding nature's call. I've seen them unzip in public twice now, both times out in villages. However, there is one Tunnelbana station in Stockholm that smells like they do it there at night... ewwww
When I told my husband, he said he's seen them do it in the city .... double ewwwwwwww
Not long ago, I was sitting in my car in a parking area killing some time. Next to me was a SUV (I had to get that in). It's owner came along, and before getting in, she squatted down and took a whiz right next to my car (a clean rest room was no more than 100 feet away). I should have blown my horn, but I resisted the temptation. She probably would have left more than a puddle.
I knew a lady who squatted over a fire ant hill one night. Shame on her husband for telling the story to everyone he knew. :o)
Djibouti? Hell, I saw that happen take place in Lexington, Kentucky last year! Right in the middle of the downtown park, there was a 13-14 year old kid squatting as traffic passed by in plain view. At first I thought he was just trying to get attention, until I saw his mother walk over and hand him toilet paper.
LOL! Exactly! Put me in a hotel w/out cable & call me Danielle Boone!
So you know for a fact that Mexicans eat night soil, which is used to fertilize?
