Remember just because you produce regular and copious bowel movements does not mean you are not full of shit. From the movie "The Madness of King George" Pepys : Good news. A fetid and a stinking stool.
Warren : Pepys.
Pepys : The color good, well shaped, and a prodigious quantity! Mind you, the urine is a little dark. Or is it the light?
Pepys : I've always found the stool more eloquent than the pulse.
Pepys : Could we mention the stool this time?
Warren : Oh, the stool, the stool. My dear Pepys, the persistent excellence of the stool has been one of this disease's most tedious features. When will you get it into your head, one can produce a copious, regular, and exquisitely-turned evacuation every day and still be a stranger to reason?
George III : I'm here. Here. But, I'm not all there. Willis : I have you in my eye, Sir. And I shall keep you in my eye until you learn to do as you're told. George III : I am the King. I tell, I'm not told. I am the verb, Sir. I am not the object.
You're missing the point of that scene, which BTW is more of an amusing interlude than a major plot point.
The hypothesized hereditary illness that caused King George's madness would also have caused the urine to be visibly abnormal, which Pepys points out.
The irony being that the characters are focused on the King's stool but in fact it was his urine that held the clue. This goes no where in the movie because they did not have the diagnostic ability at the time to investigate it further. The scene is nothing more than an interesting side note.

You are taking a frivolous subject and trying to make it serious. Does your urine reflect your autism? It has been bandied about that George suffered from porphyria but further analysis dispels that notion. His urine was not consistantly blue or purple and records indicate that he was given medication containing gentian extract, which is known to cause blue urine. None of his progeny have shown any evidence of prophyria, ruling out a genetic disorder. His writings at the time have been analysed and are consistant with a diagnosis of Manic Depression.
"You are taking a frivolous subject and trying to make it serious." says the guy who literally made a thread about King's poop. Oh and BTW calling anyone who has a different take than yourself an autist doesn't exactly encourage discussion.
It was a joke, the idea that you did not understand actually makes it a tragedy. There is a very fine line between comedy and tragedy. Take solice that you appear to be very high functioning on the spectrum.
