One day, I was discussing my Keeper with f00 when he obviously had a lightbulb appear in his skull. "I wonder," he said, "if anyone has ever thought of making a Keeper-type thing with a spigot on the bottom. After all, that little stem could easily be opened up to drain the liquids away without even needing to remove it."
"There are a couple of problems with that," I said. "And the reason you don't know them, is because you've never had a period."
"Oh?"
"For one, it would get dirty. You can't just leave something like that in there for a week."
"Oh, well you could still clean it every day, of course."
"And two, well, it ain't exactly the consistency of water."
f00's face suddenly gained that familiar I-don't-want-to-know-about-girl-stuff look. "Don't tell me! Don't tell me! Don't..."
"Imagine you had a nose bleed and a head cold, and you've got to try to blow your nose through that itty-bitty Keeper opening."
"Gahhh!!!" He screamed and clawed at his ears.
"Well, you wanted to know why it wouldn't work!"
Men can be so fragile when it comes to woman things.

There was an interesting piece in National Lampoon about 20 years ago. It appeared to be a story of a great artist who worked hard day in, day out on masterpiece works of fine art but in the end the "artist" was a baby rubbing his feces on the wall.
There is a need to ingrain a prejudice against "poo". Many Americans are affected by polio myelitis a feces transmitted disease.(Especially Before Jonas Salk) Polio is transferred from the dirty hands of an infected child to the children of his playgroup with devastating effects.
So the need to keep your hands out of your ass. and to avoid contact with fecal material is ingrained in us as learned behavior for reasons of health.
Children are a source of many infections due to their behavior in groups from spreading flu to pinworms. Daycare is often considered a cess-pit of disease. Basically because small children have yet to gain the ability to learn to keep their filth and fluids off their hands and from each other.
A simple comment in the vein of humor grows into a monster yet again...
"There goes my cat, tracking shit and grit from his litter box." when will the little bastard learn!"
