THE HUMAN FRAME

This topic is about a humorous reflection on the human body's design, particularly focusing on how our bodies handle waste. The originator uses a playful poem to highlight some quirky aspects of our anatomy, sparking a light-hearted discussion.

- The poem humorously points out that the current design of our waste exits is not the most convenient. It mentions how using a toilet can be awkward and offers little control over the process.
- It also notes the odd combination of the urinary tract with sexual function, mixing pleasure with something less pleasant.
- The poem suggests a more practical design would be to have waste outlets around the waist, allowing for the use of external bags, like stomas, which have been effective for those who need them.

The author shares that he enjoys using verse to express ideas that might be difficult to discuss directly. He mentions another poem, "I am a nobody," which is part of his book "Laugh or Lament," focusing on humor in the face of illness. Although he considered stand-up comedy, he prefers to remain in the background, using everyday interactions as his stage.

- Fellow members appreciate the author's talent, finding his humorous writing both inspiring and educational. They note how creativity and humor can make it easier to discuss bodily functions and life with an ostomy.
