Smooth Move

I visited a natural food store with a good friend and saw this gem, which instantly made me giggle:

I'd never seen "Smooth Move" tea before. It helps relieve constipation & apparently will help things "move".

It reminded me of the beginning of a very funny book by Peter Mayle, an English writer who spent time in the South of France and wrote about his adventures. "Toujours Provence" begins with a funny tale of the author being given a pamphlet with constipation advice from a pharmacy in France.

I love when people write about cultural understanding and misunderstanding, especially when it comes to sensitive issues, like bowel movements.
