    I'm not sure that's accurate - if your poo looks like that you have a serious medical problem.:wideyed: I have however seen some parasites that don't look much different.
    (and I'm not talking about politicians, although there is a resemblance)

    Hi,
    That is why I can no longer have nice things, my heirs would be tossing that in the dumpster. They do not want my 100 yr old French solid copper pots but they will fight over my French White Corningware.
    It is time for another give a way.

    Hi,
    Fifty years ago £70 was a lot of money. I would have liked to pay £70 last month for it.:D

    Well someone mentioned poo, reminds me of an infomercial I saw the other day for a small footstool affair called "Poopal." Ya put yer feet on it during, well, you know, and the position you are then in is s'posed to, well, make things work better. Sounds like poo to me!

    I think it is unfair that the main photo is of the back.
    The other side, that shows the head & hooves, is just splendid, and I would take it in a heartbeat!

    It wouldn't be my thing, but the old gent who bought it certainly had a good eye for goodies. It makes you wonder what else he brought home.
