" I apologise. There are many medical myths. People believe that sweating gets rid of toxins, or that reading in poor light damages eyesight, or we shouldn't go swimming after eating, or shaving hair makes it grow back thicker & draker. It's not true. Cold weather doesn't give us more colds. Coffee doesn't sober you up. Your heart doesn't stop when you sneeze. And one arsehole isn't any smarter than another, although proctology isn't really my field. "
