alternate title?

Emily CP and Urban Dictionary inform me that "trots" is slang for diarrhea. I am considering alternate titles and am certainly open to suggestions. Or considering that this regards foreign travel, perhaps it is all the more appropriate.

Speaking of, while in Panama on every street corner it seemed there was a Quaker Oats sign. I mean, anyone who knows me knows how special I find Quaker Oats, but it struck me as hilarious that it was special enough for each and every store that sold it to loudly pronounce that to the random passerby. Clare informs me that in Costa Rica, the country is full of comparable signs but for Alka Seltzer. Of course, if you were having indigestion you wouldn't want to have to go around searching for a place that sells Alka Seltzer. So this makes more sense than the signs for oatmeal. Prevents accidents. Even more useful of course for countries with questionable food sanitation would be a sign for Imodium. I'll make sure to stop by the consulate and let them know.

1) Travelmoxcity
2) Expemily
3) STKay Travel
