An alternative explanation for the "three seashells" in Demolition Man

Sometime after Demolition Man was released, Sylvester Stallone revealed that a screenwriter on the film had explained to him how to use the three seashells: Use the first and second like "chopsticks" to pull the feces out of your anus, then use the third to scrape away any remaining waste.

I never thought this was a particularly good explanation. Pooping doesn't work that way. One swipe with a seashell would almost certainly not be enough to clean everything. I vaguely suspect whatever screenwriter told this to Stallone was messing with him.

So I have a different interpretation: The three seashells are actually buttons. The first washes away feces with a jet of water, the second dries your posterior with a blast of air, and the third gives you a dusting of talcum powder or similar for a pleasant smell. We never actually see anyone pick up the seashells, so we don't know that they couldn't just be seashell-shaped buttons.

      Early North American settlers used corn cobs. They were abundant, they were soft and they were easy to handle. Sailors used something called a 'tow rag'. A tow rag was a long piece of frayed rope that dangled in the water.

      If you thought a ‘sponge-on-a-stick’ sounded uncomfortable, just wait. The ancient Greeks used Pessoi (pebbles) or Ostraca. Ostraca were broken pieces of ceremic pottery, smoothed down around the edges if you were lucky. They used the pieces to scrape and wipe as best they could. The process was so popular that it was immortalized on a 2,700-year-old drinking cup and in The Talmud.

      The word money derives from the Latin word moneta with the meaning "coin" via French monnaie. The Latin word is believed to originate from a temple of Juno, on Capitoline, one of Rome's seven hills. In the ancient world, Juno was often associated with money. The temple of Juno Moneta at Rome was the place where the mint of Ancient Rome was located.[5] The name "Juno" may have derived from the Etruscan goddess Uni and "Moneta" either from the Latin word "monere" (remind, warn, or instruct) or the Greek word "moneres" (alone, unique).
      In the Western world a prevalent term for coin-money has been specie, stemming from Latin in specie, meaning "in kind".
