I'm new to these boards. But ... Diogenes is a Great Dude in history.
Most notable for not owning anything while living in athens. Well, he owned a cup for drinking from fountains.
Until one day he saw a kid cupping water into his hand to drink from the fountain. Then he tossed out the cup with his rug.
Even better. Alexander The Great visited Athens, and came to Diogenes. While Diogenes was in the tub. He told him that he could give him anything in all the world. Diognes looked up and said "Man, you're blocking the sun. Move a bit to the left."
Diogenes. Cynic. Great Dude.
diogenes? new shit has come to light. he sounds like a true cynic....
no private residence, no business papers, etc...
he cant worried about that shit; life goes on, man.

Motion passed. Bowel motion, I mean. Also, I like Diogenes for Dudeism.

not on shabbas
actually, cynics were also a kind of people who did everything in public. including having a shit, jerking of manually and peeing. i guess they peed also on rugs, occasionally. not very dudeish.
on the other hand, they behaved like having "fuck it" tatooed on their forehead. hmm...
