Thanksgiving = Bowel Evacuation Day

American readers  who have eaten an entire cherpumple may find these rather odd instructions handy today.

1. Feet flat on floor.
2. Rest forearms on thighs.
3. Keep mouth closed.
4. Tighten stomach muscles and hold for 5 seconds.
5. Relax stomach muscles for 5 seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until faeces [poop!] comes out.
7. If nothing comes out after 10 minutes, leave toilet.
8. Return as soon as the urge strikes and repeat from step one.
