News Of The Weird

The National Health Service office in Dundee, Scotland, has issued recommended toilet techniques for the estimated one-third of the population with bowel and bladder dysfunction, according to an April report in the Times of London. The pamphlet, "Good Defecation Dynamics," lists preferred breathing habits and describes the proper upright sitting position for effective elimination ("Keep your mouth open as you bulge and widen"), and encourages support for the feet, perhaps "a small footstool."

That would certainly rectify the problem! We have students where I teach that prefer to squat on the toilet seat, thus breaking them. We had to put pictures in the restroom with an illustration on how to use the the toilet properly. To no avail I wound up with muddy shoe print marks on my glutes without getting my ass kicked a number of times afterwords. It turns out that the reason for them squatting had more to do with sanitary concerns than with the toilet habits in their own country.
