"I used to take laxatives...

One doesn't travel as in the old days! At this day and age it's possible to take pleasant laxatives! Laxobac has a delicious chocolate flavour and has a mild effect on the intestines, compelling them to do their job. Even children like Laxobac.

I take the modern Laxobac!"
