I learned in church today

[old_gregg]

Well, I wasn't going to but now that you bring it up... I'm sorry to report that I've read articles, even a book, about defecation throughout history and it's interesting (to me, anyway) how many different self-cleansing methods have been employed throughout history. I'd list some of them, but since at this point I've lost even my limited readership I'll get back to work.

book name plz

I know a bishop that does casual dress for weekday meetings. Last night most of the bishopric was in shorts and sandals.

Good luck with your council of love. No one here wants to go through a Lebowskit.

Holding meetings on a weekday is worse than requiring a shirt and tie.

Normally I would agree with you. But when I was WardExecSec in Orem and I lived a block away from the church building and 6 miles from work, I liked it. My bishop held Bishopric meeting on a weeknight the year we had the early block. This meant not getting up at an ungodly hour on Sunday and he also had a casual dress code for the weekday meeting.

No, this is very interesting. Visiting crusader forts one finds the latrines, with rows of sitters (stones with holes carved in them). No privacy at all. They used grass to cleanse themselves. Study of of the leavings opens a door into the diet and diseases of the time. Really quite fascinating.

I'd rather read PAC's report on the poop cleaning through history than the actual book. But I was interested.

[PaloAltoCougar]

CA was, as always, correct; Mary Roach's book, Gulp, is my go to reference for things alimentary. You may also want to consider this treatise; I haven't read it and learned of it only today because Topper sent me a BM.

Like mbn, I'm fascinated by bathrooms of yore, including those of Ephesus where women of nobility had their own toilets within their homes, but the men had to venture out to a public WC which featured many crappers side by side--convenient for post-game analysis and political discussions by the CS'ers of their day. Cleaning implements were usually sticks with leaves One of the more popular post-evacuation tools throughout history has been corn husks. But now we're moving into areas better discussed in the Ouch! thread, or perhaps better not at all. I make an end.

I make a tapered end.

Russian people are really nice, and will stop sacrament meeting if you show up late. We were on time, but the investigator came in late and the all shook his hand when he came in. Of course sheen you have 4 members in your branch you can do that.

There is a Sister missionary named Fontana or something like that giving a talk right now. She is from Las Vegas. Any of our Vegas members know her? Can I trust her to teach my neighbors (seeing as they have all been begging me to bring the missionaries over)?

We have a Vegas and Orem sister missionaries in my ward right now. I wondered if any of our people knew them too! Although not enough to remember their names.
