Lush, Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party Time! Excellent! There are some true works of art that deal with those areas. Funny, too.
What's wrong with Tolkien just assuming we all know "stuff" happens? At the time of the books being written, authors did not have to include Monty Python scenes or Eddie Murphy crudities to appeal to their audiences. I doubt he is trying to brainwash the weak-minded that people (and elves) did not have to toilet themselves in M-E.
