In DUS, the potent potion for piles and moints is called Alt!! 
Potients is a secret word (always used in combination with unguents) only to be used by people who also say pedestranian and skootch your bootch. Most of these people have the same last name and have at one time or another lived in my home.

There have been several ideas here for what to do about piles. However, other than Eastbay1K's generic comment and a joke about "mointment," nobody has said a thing about moints. I personally find moints more of a problem than piles. Any real suggestions? Or do I have to ask in haiku?

I wrote in this thread the following:
I should have written the following:
During each calendar quarter, whomever has the post moints gets the prize.
That would have made far more sense...

We had a mid-fleet steward - some years ago - who rang in sick, and then came in person to say that the Doctor had signed him off as he had piles.
His Flight Supervisor informed him that whilst it was very kind of him to have come in person, he could have self-certificated, or just dropped the sick note (medical certificate) in the mail.
"Do you think I would have come down the bloody A4 (which was under repair) with every every jolt and bump acting like a red hot poker if I could spell haemmorrhoids??? Look at that handwriting, it's illegible! Anyway, it's an occupatiojnal hazard in this job!"
I understand that he eventually had an operation which he used to refer to as "the" operation or "my hysterical rectomy" (I am not making this up!).
They do not come like that any more!
