“Laxatives: A Moving Experience”
by Jaco Hamilton-Attwell
Jaco confronts the realization that laxatives do not care if you are standing in a parking lot on Moorhouse Ave. He wants to share valuable knowledge that no one asked for, but everyone needs to know.
Jaco is not a medical professional. He had to have medical tests done, and these required taking laxatives. This led to some explosive experiences which are unfortunately something all of us have experienced, whether it was caused by medication, illness or your body deciding it just wants to open the flood gates.
