Something occurred to me today:
When we're breathing, the air comes into our body, is processed, and then goes out through the same pipe. So we're like a big bag that way.
For food, it comes into our body, is processed, and then goes out through a different pipe. So we're like a big donut that way.
I'm sure glad we're built that way, and that air and food aren't processed the other way around.

In the case of spammers they can breath and shit from the same orifice.

The Philip K Dick novel Counter-Clock World has time running backwards and the normal bodily functions reversed. Hence, people consume "sogum" and excrete food. As for conception...
