Had one holiest king alone as a father.

THE LONG CATEGORY

The matron at a large hospital answered a phone call in her office.

"Would you tell me how Seamus O'Burns is getting on in ward two?" asked the caller.

"Seamus O'Burns?" repeated the matron, consulting her notes. "Yes, he had his operation yesterday, but I believe it all went very well and that he will probably be coming out in two days or so. Who is this speaking?"

"It's Seamus O'Burns in ward two. They don't tell you anything down here!"

Two Indian doctors were having a heated argument in a hospital lobby. "Well, I say it's W-H-O-O-M," said one.

"Well, I say it's W-H-O-O-M-B," challenged the other one.

A passing nurse heard them. "Sorry, but you're both completely wrong," she said. "It's actually spelt W-O-M-B."

"Thanks, nurse," said one, "but we will settle the argument ourselves; anyhow, we really don't think you're in a position to describe the sound of an elephant farting under water!"

Healthy eating

Eating healthily is not hard to do and the benefits are well worth the effort.

Why is healthy eating important?

In adults, healthy eating can help you manage your weight and will improve your overall feeling of well-being; it can also reduce your risk of developing illness and serious disease. The right balance of foods will give your child all the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. It also helps to educate them to eat healthily and can reduce the risk of serious diseases later in life.

What is a healthy diet?

A healthy diet contains:
plenty of starchy foods such as bread, rice, pasta, breakfast cereals, potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes - look for higher fibre versions where possible (eg wholemeal bread or pasta) at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables daily

moderate amounts of dairy products (or alternatives) - look for low fat versions where possible

moderate amount of meat, fish or alternatives such as eggs, beans, peas and lentils - look for lower fat versions where possible

the occasional treat (foods that are higher in fat, salt and/or added sugar should only be eaten in moderation)

little salt - always read the label

Healthy diets for babies and children

Eating healthily yourself is one of the best ways to encourage your child to develop healthy eating habits. Healthy eating needn't be expensive. In fact, basing meals on starchy foods and fruit and vegetables, and aiming to eat less fat, salt and added sugar, can actually work out cheaper.

Babies and children under five have different diet requirements. For more information follow the links below.

How To Wipe Your Arse - An Official Government Health Guide.

Wiping one's arse is easy, not difficult, but nevertheless, should one need any help, please do take the time to follow this essential handy bathroom guide.

First, download a free 'Loo Risk-Assessment' (form no. 11676/1), and send it to your local Town Hall Health and Safety Officer.

Then select a type of toilet roll suitable for one's particular arsehole, and lifestyle. Those made of bio-degradable recycled material are preferable, to avoid global warming. Avoid a newspaper (even the Daily Mail) as ink easily transfers to skin. Wipees suffering from haemorrhoids are highly advised to avoid the ghastly crinkly stuff we used to have at school. Ooh, the agony! A fluffy 'Fiesta Deluxe' quilted sheet type, or a delicate fragrant Feminine 'Wet Wipe' may be more comfortable.

Having completed a risk-assessment/chosen a type of paper one wishes to use, ideally wearing surgical rubber gloves, sit, wee first, heave, groan, then lay a shit. Bowel evacuated, stand with one's feet apart by about 14 to 17 inches (by about 11 to 14 inches for a child). Bend the knees at an angle of 55 degrees. With one hand (right or left) either side (not between the legs), gently wipe one's arsehole in a straight line, ideally front-to-rear. (Allow two sheets, two-ply, folded in half). A rear-to-front wipe is not advised, as this could result in an infection beneath the genital area, particularly in women. Repeat wipe as needed.

Having removed excess faecal matter, check stool for undigestable vegetables, or bloodstains. (If so, see a doctor right away for a diagnosis). Throw used bog-roll into the bowl. Flush it, and the poo, away by turning the handle / by pressing a button on the cistern. Remove any heavy splattering and gooey pebble-dashing on bowl edge. Break any floaters laterally or diagonally apart with a long pole, and re-flush.

Following that, wash and dry one's hands. Finally finished at last, breathe again.
