Many years ago, I heard a comedy skit of a woman "from a civilized country" who went to New Zealand. The first native she encountered was an older gentleman who talked about his "balls" in excruciating detail and for an agonizingly length of time.
The young "lady" was mortified to learn that some days the eighty-year-old man exercised his "balls" three, even four times a day. And later in the week, he might go for one...even two days without exercising them, a situation which the senior citizen found to be an incredible hardship!
When asked, the senior citizen allowed how most Kiwis (at least the older, more feeble ones) had similar issues.
It was much later that the "lady" discovered that the senior citizen was talking about his BOWELS.
As a young man, I found great humor in how much "old people" talked about their digestion.
So gentle readers, with that said, I want tap your collective wisdom.
"What is the optimum amount of time between eating your last meal and hitting-the-rack?"
"Do you engage in a postprandial circumambulation (walk after eating)? If so, how long after eating?"
"In your experience, what is the optimal amount (time or distance) of your postprandial circumambulations? Is a ten minute walk enough? Twenty minutes?"
"Does the walk help reduce the positive buoyancy (gas) associated with bolus injection into the ascending regions of the lower bowel or is there some other benefit?" and "Does it contribute to a peaceful night of slumber?"
Inquiring minds want to know.
Half hour.
