Not so much a story about filth per se
more about how my reaction to it has changed.

Working as a nurse in on an orthopaedic ward has, more or less, completely desensitised me to poop. I don't balk, get offended by smell, care if it's liquid or that some people choose to keep it in their finger nails just so they can wipe it on you as an act of bastardy. Colostomys are slightly irritating, only because the liquified poop that comes out makes the velcro that keeps the end from spilling out the conetnt of the bag less easy to attach.

Weirdly this reminds me of last night when I was out with the soon-to-be wife and her family celebrating her sisters birthday and, somehow, the conversation turned to bowel movements with people saying how many times they usually went (I presume for shock value) and getting various responses from "Ooh that's disgusting" to "Really? We're eating RIGHT NOW!" I pointed out how I have this same conversation with about 20 people every day usually while up to my elbows in some type 7 stool (Bristol Stool Classification chart for the win!).

One of my friends is a Nurse, she lived with other nurses for 2 years of the course
They had a illustration of the Bristol classification chart next to the toilet, with tally marks next to each one, with different coloured pens marking whose shit was whose. She found this hilarious, I found it rather worrying.

I think I'll go with your assessment
then again, what us nurses laugh at is fucking strange at times.

Why nonce?
I'm pretty sure you have to be over 18 and have gone to uni in order to be a nurse.
