You must have a chitty outlook on life to ponder such a thing.

A laxative usually works by irritating the bowel, which stimulates peristalsis, which is the wave-like movement of the colon which moves solid waste down the intestinal tract. They can also work by increasing the fecal bulk, softening the stool, or by lubricating the intestinal wall.
In the case of mild irritation, it is usually the bodies' response to increase the amount of water held in the colon in order to "flush" the irritant away. Because the body does this it is possible to become severely dehydrated as well as malnourished. Most absorption of nutrients take place in the upper colon, not the stomach. The stomachs' main function is to mix your food with digestive enzymes into a paste challed chyme. Once in the upper colon bile is introduced to help in the breakdown of fats, and it is bile salts which give solid waste its characteristic color and odor. If you overuse laxatives you can "flush" the whole colon, which also gets rid of food you may not have finished digesting yet. A better solution to most problems with lower colon constipation is a stool softener regimen, or the occasional use of a suppository or low-volume enema, such as a commercially prepared Fleets' enema, which generally empty only the lower, or sigmoid colon. Waste in the sigmoid is already stripped of all its nutrients and is ready for evacuation.
Remember though that like any muscle, the colon needs to work by itself in order to stay strong. Overuse of any laxative can promote sluggishness of the bowel and eventually lead to even more problems. As always, talk to your doctor before starting any laxative regimen.
So in the context of the question, it would be the other way around, as it would feel like the world was falling out of your bottom.

The world and, very possibly, several parallel universes would fall out of your bottom.

i think that's the goo on their feet retains them from falling off. From wading by all the b-sh-t approximately Australia on web content like this. that's germany the place the lavatories flush backwards. (authentic). we don't try against the crocs lots as they save the vacationer numbers down somewhat.
