Random thoughts
On my jog earlier I watched a guy walking his dogs let one of them take a big crap right in the middle of someone's driveway, then walk off. Some people, huh. I briefly considered following him back to his house so that I could take a dump in his driveway...
On a not-so-related note, I got a random girls fashion catalog in my mailbox today so I flipped through it. Meh, nothing special... until I got to the page with the special Granny-sized "Sanitary" fully-lined panties designed for pad-wearers. And they're advertising a special one for wear during the day & one for night. And there's 2 pages of these. Um, ok. I start to wonder: is there a market for these? Perhaps you don't really want to know about the use of tampons versus pads in Japan but I'm going to tell you anyways. It seems that in Japan tampon-users are in the minority. The sanitary aisle in the grocery store is largely stocked with pads, which leaves a crap selection in the tiny tampon section (and of the selection the ones there are, in fact, tiny). I know all the western girls in Japan can totally feel me on this point as most of us end up bringing over our own supplies or having them mailed to us (unless you're lucky enough to be in a big city). From what I can tell, most Japanese women use pads. Uncomfortable, anyone? Bueller? Therefore, there is a market for these pad-fitting panties! Wow, that's kind of weird.
