| A little boy asks his dad "Where does poo come from?" His father is taken aback by the question but decides to give his son the facts straight up.

This contracts the protein before waste enters the colon. Water is absorbed, whereupon it enters the rectum finally to emerge as poo." "Wow," says the boy. "So where does Tigger come from?" |
