What reminds of:
American general was assigned a house with garden and servants, gardener included, in Okinawa.
General was well verse in Japanese traditions, so he called upon gardener and ordered him not to use "any of your Japanese fertilizer in the garden" (in Japan, human refuse is used for that purpose)
Ever since, gardener duly used only the general and his family one.

They're everywhere. I think most people just don't pay attention to flies and other insects lurking around because they're small and people aren't making a point of looking for them when they go outside. But they are everywhere - when they aren't flying around they're hiding under tree and plant leaves, they're in flowers and in the grass and in the soil, sitting on tree trunks, utility poles, walls, roofs, sun-warmed rocks, hitching rides on animals and humans drinking their blood, sweat and tears. Just waiting for something to either defecate or die so they have another thing to eat or to lay eggs on so their larvae that hatch will consume the decomposing leftovers. They've evolved to consume what everything else discards as waste or to feed off anything that isn't fast enough to get away from them.

Relieving oneself out-of-doors should be the easy part if you aren't too modest. As a motorcyclist I know only too well the unexpected necessity of this.

The more challenging aspect of the natural process for humans is the desire, both aesthetically and for health reasons, to cleanse one's fertilizer processor after production.

Our U.S. pioneers on their long trek westward, faced with this very dilemma, learned by trial and error natural solutions to their problem. And woe be to he who chose the wrong plant for his experiment.

A small gaggle of geese invaded my swimming hole recently and I learned something new. They have little concern for the cleansing aspects of defecation. Should a dangler cause distress a simple flick of the large webbed foot rearward solves the problem.

After a noisome week of watching them enjoying my private beach I thought I knew why Rabelais once suggested using their downy feathered necks as a substitute for toilet paper.
