Djibouti was the only place I ever witnessed this. I didn't realize it was a common occurrence on the streets of America.

Over there I chalked it up to a different culture or perhaps a lack of facilities.

I've had two experiences like that.

My good wife (an avid outdoors woman) theorizes that part of the curses laid down in the Garden (but left out of the good book for reasons of propriety) was one which ordained that women, for ever more, would have to squat for # 1.

I, on the other hand maintain that, with diligent practice, women would be able to overcome this curse! ;o)

Drew the POO Barrymore! LOL!

Well, I guess VA was a former English colony...you see? Colonialism doesn't work!

I heard that JLO and Marc Anthony's house caught on fire in the middle of the night. Marc woke up and yelled to Jen for her to get out of the house and haul ass! Jen had to make two trips. : )

[MisterRepublican]

LOL! Now, that is funny.

I was run over by a doe ...

the locals would politely squat down next to a building and proceed to defecate, with no concern whatsoever that they were doing so in public.

Would that be the opposite of "anal retentive"?

I didn't say they eat night soil. The statement was made that the person doesn't eat anything that was pooped on. Putting night soil on crops for fertilizer is indirectly pooping on them, a practice common in Mexico. Is there some kind of problem? You seem a bit testy over this.

[Dad yer funny]

Hey , they do the same thing here in NYC , no kiddin'!! A pile of poop that is closer to a building[or something similar,wall,car,etc] than a dog would excrete, is a dead giveaway , ya gotta know poop here in NYC

Here you can chalk it up to different facilities or lack of culture. : )

[Petronski]

I tend to not eat things I've pooped on.

Important safety tip!

I see you're already here...

Don't know about Zimbabwe but, having been a security guard in a number of locations, I don't immediately blame the guard.

Unless they consistently treat them like actual human beings in Z.

How could I not?

[No Blue States]

lol! Ouch. They didnt say if the snake was poisonous.

This story reminds me of the time we drove 80 mph from Houston to Texas city to fish on the dike. Well, my sister really needed to relieve herself so as soon as the car stopped she hopped right out and squatted down on the VW's very hot tailpipe.

She says the scar is still there.

I was over here first.
