I used to believe that there was a witch round the u-bend of our loo and that she lived off of our poo. I thought that if I didn't give her enough poo she'd come up and try and eat me instead. As a result, I always pushed real hard to get it all out as soon as possible so not to annoy her. If it was a little slow coming, I'd bend my head down between my legs and talk to her in an attempt to pacify her and avoid being eaten. I know it works, because I'm still here!
