When was the last time you stood in dog poo?

The man walking in front of me this morning stepped in some poo and skidded half the length of the pavement. It looked like he nearly dislocated his hip trying to stay on his feet.
This got me thinking, as you do.
It's been ages since I stood in dog poo. When I was a kid I stood in dog poo on a weekly basis. My mum would go mental when I walked it into the house, especially when I was wearing trainers with deep treads and you'd have to get a twig or something to clean it out.
Anyway, is there less poo around these days to stand in or is it because as a child I was less aware of the poo locations?

My kids are always standing in it.
I have pristine, new, beautiful cream coloured Schwalbe tyres and I'm very proud of them.
"What poo, where?"
"Under the mudguard"
"That's not poo - it's a leaf!" And to prove my point and be triumphant I stuck my finger in it.
It was poo.
What has changed is the number of dogs roaming around without owners
You're lucky you had a mudguard.
You speak the truth.
How is it cleaned off though.
I'm now paranoid about standing in dog poo so i'm constantly looking at the pavement
The pavements near me are covered in the stuff. I voted for a councilor a few years ago who promised to clean up our streets and parks of dog crap. Guess what.....it didn't happen.
But sometimes it's unavoidable.
During a football match on the local playing fields I remember executing a magnificent sliding tackle on the opposition teams star striker denying a certain goal. However, my trajectory took me through some animals toilet facility. Thank god for the shower block close by.
I'm an educated person. I have a good degree from a top university. I read books. I once watched Newsnight.
So why is this still funny to me, at my age?:o
I usually save the barefoot honour for standing on slugs.
