Lots of fluids, stay close to the toilet ...

There really is an enormous amount of firsthand knowledge on this forum.

Thanks Horse for keeping us right. :D

What I would like to know, is who goes around sniffing wild animal shit, so they can build a list of what wild animal shit smells like.

The same type of person who worked out which mushrooms and fruit is safe to eat?

I wonder about dogs; they're supposed to have this wonderful sense of smell- but still sniff shit from much closer than I ever want to be.

They must also think humans are very odd creatures. Dog takes a dump... human rushes in and collects the dog egg in a nice plastic bag. The dog must think "wtf do they do with that"

Two creatures walking along. One craps, the other carries it. Who's in charge?

Some mushrooms are so nutritious that just one will feed you for the rest of your life.
