They think it took most of the damage, sparing the man, so it did its job.

And who names a community Stank?

Are the neighboring towns Stink and Stunk?

They have a lot of unusual village names. When I lived there....the name of a village near us was named “Foxhole”. When passing thru..I always made a joke to my husband about no atheists living there.

If that was in America, that man would have a hospital room full of lawyers telling him he’s got a good case for a lawsuit. “It should be a Slam Dunk!”

How did anyone know what happened? It was a field and the pic makes it look quite isolated.

At my house we have been taking care of a sister (still are) and then a grandmother (wish I still was) who never have/ended up not managing their own bodily functions ... so it won’t surprise anyone that we probably enjoy poop humor too much.
