Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) sees to the proper operation of his digestive apparatus in a scene from the TV series adaptation of Agatha Christie's mystery novel "Death in the Clouds".
Those times when Hercule Poirot becomes a “mere member of the human race," as explained by Hercule Poirot...
“They say an army marches on its stomach,” said Poirot. “But how much are the delicate convolutions of the brain influenced by the digestive apparatus? When the mal de mer seizes me, I, Hercule Poirot, am a creature with no gray cells, no order, no method---a mere member of the human race somewhat below average [in] intelligence! It is deplorable, but there it is!”
---from “Death in the Clouds” by Agatha Christie.
