It was not just any pus, it was bum pus.
It was surprisingly difficult to access bum pus, an intersphincteric abscess, a pelvic abscess even, high up in the recesses of this poor man’s bum.
Finally the horrid smelling pus started pouring out of its crevice next to the anus.
“I feel like clapping!” said I, delighted at the result.
