Who's gonna hold the goose for that?

From the Wikipedia entry about the history of TP:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper


"The 16th century French satirical writer François Rabelais in his series of novels Gargantua and Pantagruel, discussing the various ways of cleansing oneself at the toilet, wrote that: "He who uses paper on his filthy bum, will always find his ballocks lined with scum", proposing that the soft feathers on the back of a live goose provide an optimum cleansing medium."



I can see if they said the soft feathers FROM the back of a live goose, but ON the back of a live goose?

Who is going to hold the goose for that? :confused:

1. The goose adds a simulated wanking effect...

And, back then, "choking the chicken" was an eeeeeevil sin. So "grab a goose" instead! :D
