Description

A comical French cartoon which roughly translates as follows: Doctor "Tell me, my friend, how are your stools?" - Patient "Don't talk to me about it, Doctor, there are days when you could not break them with your teeth; another time you could drink it like milk!"

What makes this cartoon all the more interesting and humorous is that under the table the family hen is busy eating out of the chamber pot, & the youngster is the background is not put off his food is the slightest by the topic of conversation going on around him!

"Toilet Humour" is a type of off-colour humour dealing with defecation, urination, and flatulence, and to a lesser extent vomiting and other bodily functions.. Toilet humour is popular among a wide range of ages, but is especially popular with children and teenagers, for whom cultural taboos related to acknowledgement of waste excretion still have a degree of novelty.
