6 My brother will tell his story... I recall being a small boy and reporting in sick to the Superintendent’s office with a pain in my tummy. “Son, do you mean to tell me that you have not had a bowel movement for over a week?” the man was offended by it. “Yes sir.” “Trousers off, up on the table on your tummy; you must not leave it so long; this will not hurt.” I can laugh at it now, but the poor man had to wear rubber gloves to rub soap and warm water into my rectum. Then he used a rubber syringe to squirt in a soapy solution and delved around to remove several hard lumps of my rock hard excrement which I saw lying in a shallow white dish. “That should soften it up for you son; lie there a few minutes, then wipe yourself with this towel. Disgrace, you know, not going to the toilet.
