The Latest Poop

Originally I’d planned to avoid this subject all together even though…First I’d found an interesting word (coprophagy=eating poop) and then my husband sent me an interesting link about a guy (not a bear) that was doing what bears do in the woods…The third time charm was when I read about the reason the homeless in Honolulu were being shipped out (no, they have been defecating outdoors around touristy places rather than ‘shipping’ their pants) to a converted industrial/dump/internment camp area. So here goes…

First of all please forgive me for skipping coprophagy.

About the guy in the woods, not a polar bear on ice, apparently a police officer spotted him leaving a bar, running into the woods with his pants down and clutching a handful of napkins. The guy was sighted for disorderly conduct and told to return and clean up his ‘conduct’ in a sanitary manner. The charges were eventually dismissed butt now this guy is suing the police department for $15,000 in damages to his reputation and for the em-bare-ass-ment and humiliation he has suffered.

As for the homeless in Honolulu, if I had to be homeless anywhere that might be the place I’d choose because of the scent of tropical flowers that greets you as you step outside the airport and the mild weather, among other things. Butt the tourist industry and hotel representatives say visitors complain about safety and, you guessed it, defecation. Hence a couple of bills aimed at moving the homeless out of tourist areas were recently passed. The city is planning to move their homeless population to a temporary legal campsite out of the public’s eye and the scent of public defecation out of nose range.

That’s the poop.
