Tubing hedgehogs

I was in Waterstones looking for books on compost for young Bertrand when I came across some very interesting scientific books for younger lemuures by Mitchel Symons .. How Much Poo Does An Elephant Do and Why Eating Boggies is Good For You.

One of the books was a life guide and while looking through it I came across this bit of interesting advice .. Never use a hedgehog as loo paper.

I thought that I might leave this book as the author obviously had some strange personal habits that I didn't want Bertrand picking up.

I mean who would use a hedgehog as toilet paper anyway. They do have this habit of annointing themselves just incase they forget who they are .. but, still .. you don't want to confuse them even further by making them think they are you.

Hmmm .. I thought that I could understand how this might happen .. maybe .. as people might get toilet brushes and toilet paper mixed up and I suppose hedgehogs do look a bit like toilet brushes. Maybe Mr Symonds is right to bring this up. Imagine going for an interview after making that mistake. How would you explain why you couldn't sit down.

Still, I thought Mr Symonds wasn't speaking to the majority of people as I'd never heard of this happening before. You might think that this is because I'm from Madagascar and that there mightn't be any hedgehogs there .. nut .. bo .. there is a close relation.

Anyway, when I got back to the flat I thought I'd Google about it and see what I could find.

And .. Oh .. My .. God!!!!!!!!
