There’s a scene in Deadpool 2 with the country dudes sitting on a tailgate talking about wiping. As the conversation unfolds I see where it’s going; one is gonna recommend using a bidet! NOPE! BIG WIPE must have had a hand in it, as the dude touts the effectiveness of flushable wipes. Talk about a missed opportunity of pop culture proportions.
