I had no idea!!! Who knew? By golly...I learn something new every dadburned day! My Majesty has always said I was full of poopoo... luckily for me, regular regularity is regularly normal for me. Set clocks by it. I can't believe I'm riding this thread and enjoying it!
Not really.. that's new.. I have to agree about the coffee as it has laxative oils, so it naturally encourages bowel movement. But Nicotine isn't...Maybe there is some correlation but I am not sure it is the pipe smoking.
Y favorite anecdote for that I heard on the radio, it took me a minute to realize what he meant. This guy calls in to a sports radio station, asks one question then, says I have to take the Browns to the Super Bowl, and hangs up, lol!
One of my friends is a doctor who swears that most people simply do not poop on a regular basis. She likes more fiber but emphasizes lots of water. I pointed out that smoking a pipe encourages drinking of lots of water, and that a pipe after Taco Bell and water guarantees a healthy colon. No word on what medical science thinks of that one (yet)...
Caffeine definitely makes me feel like a regular guy, especially morning coffee. Nicotine not so much, though I've heard it does. Some pipe smokers use their pipe as a room deodorizer as they have their morning constitutional. Not me, but it should work.
Aye, a full pipe gets my gut growling too. Same with coffee and mints. Just incase you really wanted to know!
Years ago when I smoked cig's I'd always get a wee bout of the spins in the morning then quickly dash to the porcelain throne for a bit of weight loss.
I thought it was the same for everyone, but then again I do rest on the throne quite a lot. Must be my regal blood.. or as my mum calls it, my 'baggy bum'. lol
