As therapies became more alternative and adventurous the euphemism creators have had to work overtime to make them sound palatable to the punter. Who, for example, didn't fancy the tempting prospect of "Collonic Irrigation", a wonderful poetic term evoking thoughts of green pastures and twinkling streams. If they'd left it as the original descriptive "sticking a running hosepipe up your bottom" I think the celebrity following may have failed to be quite so enthusiastic. Well, most of them anyway.
I'm now able to offer you a further sign that civilisation is going down the toilet... Fish Pedicure.
This cod remedy is so ridiculous that I can't even be bothered coming up with a carp load of puns involving fish and feet.

Oh, so that's why they wouldn't show a close-up of Mike Liggin's feet on Look East. He paints his toe-nails.
It's different from fish fingers though. Probably costs around two hundred pounds a go. Stand in a local ditch and have a pedicure for free.
"Got any verrucas? I'm sick of these corns!"
I've had my feet munched by these little beggars in Japan, but they had a marked preference for men's feet - they like the gnarly bits, apparently.
Dave: He's not known as Mike Leg-end for nought.
Rosie: Thanks for the tip. I'd be concerned about the toads but could wear open toad sandals.
Geoff: Got any termites? Sycophants!
Timorous: I've heard of those Chiro-Suchi Bars.
Didn't Sarah Ferguson employ a human being to carry out a similar job on a regular basis?
Betty: She made the mistake of using a Piranha (Financial Advisor).
You'd need a piranha for the toenails though wouldn't you???
Why are you advertising Tim Footman's Bangkok to-fu parlour? Something a bit fishy here, if you ask me - backhanders in fish fingers and toes and cod pieces, is that it?
