6. true . . . although I know of some people who can not only reach . . . |
|
around with their tongues, they can actually imsert their entire head into their own rectum and walk around like that for days, weeks, months, even years at a time . . . George W. Bush, for instance . . . and John Ashcroft . . . and Rush Limbaugh . . . and Ann Coulter . . .
better stop now . . . if I took the time to list them all, I'd miss not only the Yankee/Red Sox game, but likely the entire season . . .

7. Have you ever seen the back-end of a Yak? |

Apologies to Zomby, but they are the animal Kings of dingleberries.
What was my point? Oh yeah! Everyone needs to wipe.

Since we're the only species that walks fully upright, we have bigger butt muscles and since we sit on our asses most of the day there's usually lots of extra fat there as well. Our assholes are receding as our butts get larger. :) I would guess that all bipedal life in the universe wipes (or takes a bidet).

16. Because we don't relish the concept of licking our asses clean?! |
|
Just a thought.
Besides, at least I don't know of many humans who are limber enough to even consider it!
FYI - until roman times, and even in some recent times, many societies have used the left hand to wipe, and the right to eat.
That's why we've developed the right-handedness over left-handedness phobias as well as the handshake rituals.
Then there are always those who are mentally challenged and never wipe even in our society - they are generally considered outcasts for other reasons - yucko big time!

Don't bother to ask how I know that. Can you say "prostate exam"?
