A good friend of mine LOVES to talk about poo. He almost gets as excited as he was before when it comes to the topic… and never has he seem bored of it… It can be the same poo talk each time but it never fails to entertain himself and the rest of our gang.. that besides farts… Its really hilarious to hear it even though i’ve been listening it for the past… 10years? ahahahaha* (yes… not your average einstein conversations…)

So for all you people whose friends are like mine… Or maybe you are just like my friend who cant get enough talking about poo… This one is simply perfect. Brilliant bathroom reading material!

This witty, illustrated description of over 2 dozen doodies, each with a medical explanation written by a doctor, gives you the low-down about your health and well-being by studying what’s in the bowl… Sidebars, trivia, over 60 euphemisms for number 2 plus unusual case of histories… Who knew you can learn so much from your poo?

 

Continuing from What’s Your Poo Telling You?, comes the Poo Log. A journal for recording and studying the wondrous uniqueness of… your doodie. With an extensive glossary, handy reference checklist, interesting nuggets throughout… you can scribble your experiences down and have a laugh over it. 

I have a great idea….
