I STILL think this is where the expression(s) wrong or shit end of the stick came from. I think this would be a mean and nasty way to take someone out. Forced bum sponge delivered on the end of a stick. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉 Do you die from the loss of air, or do you die from the shocking and disgusting thought of what’s happening to you, lol.

Yes, it’s rather gruesome, perhaps too over the top (for now). “Shit end of the stick!” LMAO!!! I’ll see if I can find out if there’s an ancient (or Medieval) saying in Latin. But seriously, the gold nuggets for plot that already exist in the sources are truly incredible. 😀
