When I asked my 7 year old what he thought, ( which I do with all my new coins out of forlorn hope he will gain an interest to share with daddy! ), he said.. " that is a lady who has had a poo and is getting some toilet roll"... And to be fair he has a point!!  ;D

I must have the same sense of humor as a 7 year-old, because I just burst out laughing in the office when I read that!
