     Now, for my crappy reply to your message...this is the turd one in this   
   thread.    
      
     Several years ago in Branson, Missouri...Tom Mullica did a show in tribute    
   to Red Skelton...and you thought Red had come back from the dead...the guy    
   looked, sounded, and acted just like him.   
      
     Well, he found out there was a group of nurses in the audience, and he was    
   ecstatic!! He gushed "I'm so thrilled that you're here today, as I've been    
   dying to ask this question!!".   
      
     The hall gets dead quiet, and he (looking right at the nurses), asks them   
   "Have we had our bowel movement today??".    
      
     It brought the house down in raucous laughter, and the nurses were all as    
   red as tomatoes.    
      
     I've had several hospitalizations over the years (2 last year with being   
   diagnosed with atrial fibrillation), and the main statement is "you can't go    
   home until you go poop".  When I was hospitalized for digestive tract    
   issues, they wanted to release me early...and I said "I want to be sure my   
   colon is working before I leave, as it's what brought me in here, with   
   gastrointeritis (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea). it's not fun to do it out   
   of both ends simultaneously).   
      
     Nearly 20 years ago, before I became disabled, and had to quit working,   
   I was helping a female co-worker with a printing job (I had worked in   
   silkscreen printing for almost 20 years). I usually would help put the   
   printed decals on a rack, but I had to "assume the position -- on my knees"    
    when the job started, but I was able to stand, as more and more decals    
   were printed, so I could put them on the rack to dry.   
      
     She had lost her first husband to colon cancer, and unfortunately, she   
   remarried too soon after that, and the marriage didn't last. But, one day,   
   I said to her "Feces Occurs". She looked at me with the proverbial deer    
   in the headlights look on her face...so when I translated it to $h!+    
   happens, she howled with laughter...and said "I'm going to tell my sister    
   that one!!". The next morning, when she walked in, I asked her "Did you    
   ask your sister??" and "Same reaction??". Both responses were met with a   
   wildly grinning "yes".  She and I were great friends, but she resigned   
   for another job elsewhere before I resigned due to declining health (my   
   body wouldn't let me do it anymore)...I have no idea what happened to her.   
      
     There was a vehicle involved in a wreck locally years ago, and it flipped   
   the car on its roof. It has a bumper sticker that was upside down, but when   
   the car was flipped over, the photo with "$h!+ Happens" was there in color   
   on the front page of the local newspaper. Maybe it should be "Hit Shappens",    
   and "We're doing this for Gits and Shiggles" .   
      
     The stench from the excrement is an indicator that the trillions of the   
   bacteria in your gut are doing their job to digest their food. Things like   
   beans, asparagus (maybe it should be ass-spare-a-gas ), cabbage, legumes,    
   etc. will make you flatulate (fart) like mad...and if you have a dog    
   (especially a dachsund), these silent but deadly (SBD) methane fart bombs    
   are particularly nasty.   
      
     Before my wife died, we were on the Futon, otherwise "intimately occupied",   
   and the dachshund was in his bed on the floor next to us. All of a sudden,   
   this horrible methane stench permeated our nostrils...the dog had dropped an    
   SBD methane fart bomb!! I started gagging from the stench, and my wife was    
   laughing uncontrollably...saying "You know he's down there, going 'Hee Hee    
   Hee. Ignore my @$$, will you??!!" . So, any lovemaking, etc. went down    
   the toilet and out the window, as I had to get dressed, and take the weiner   
   dog out for a potty run. I think we put him in his carrier after that, so    
   we wouldn't be interrupted again.    
      
     There was a commercial several years ago, and I think it was Tractor   
   Supply Company that did it. To start, the family is at the dinner table,   
   asking the blessing on the meal that they're about to consume...all of the   
   gas producing foods. As soon as they say "Amen", the dog leaps out from    
   under the kitchen table, and runs up the stairs to the bedroom. He gets to    
   this big chest of drawers, and after opening the bottom one, he starts    
   digging furiously, looking for something. Well, he didn't find what he    
   wanted in the first drawer, so he opens the second one, and starts digging   
   again...still nothing. Luckily, the third time was the charm...he found    
   what he was looking for...a gas mask!!  So, he puts it on, runs down the   
   stairs, gets back under the kitchen table, and contentedly lies down.    
      
     Then, the announcer calmly says "We have what you need".    
      
     Everyone farts and poops...on the farting, from as little as 15 times a    
   day, to as much as 20 times an hour. I wonder how much of our tax money was    
   used to determine that?? They were going to do a study on second hand    
   flatulence, but they couldn't get any volunteers. And, after you've been    
   run over by a steam roller, they send a flatulance to pick you up...but the    
   ride really stinks. There are no shock absorbers in these vehicles, as you    
   can run over a quarter in the street, and tell whether it is heads or tails.    
       
      
     With the bowel movements, what is "normal" varies from person to person...   
   but if you go more than 3 days without a BM, that is too long, and it can    
   lead to constipation. Also, folks who sit on the toilet, in a chair, or in    
   a vehicle seat driving for a long time, who are overweight, or women who    
   have babies, are likely to get hemorrhoids...which are a real PITA.    
      
     Colon cancer is the second greatest killer right behind heart disease   
   and breast cancer, but it's one of the most preventable. Admittedly, the   
   prep work is a bummer, with no solid food the day before (clear liquids   
   only), and practically nonstop diarrhea for 12-18 hours beforehand, which   
   is followed by an enema. But, if you don't thoroughly clean out your colon   
   beforehand, you'll have to do the prep work again, and this time, pay the   
   expensive cost of it. Afterwards, you will have a lot of gas, joining all   
   the others "in the wind section".    
      
     Too bad that we can't convert that to our vehicles (gasoline jumped 70    
   cents a gallon in Arkansas in the last week). If we could, I'd order a    
   palatte of Bush's Baked Beans, ask Duke for the secret formula, and tell    
   OPEC what they could do with their gas prices.     
      
     We have enough oil under our soil in the US, to help lower the fuel   
   prices...but the environmentalists are more concerned about the bovine    
   flatulence and climate than the economy. For that matter, as noted earlier,    
   every creature farts and poops.    
      
     As Jeff Foxworthy noted in one of his skits, "the kids are coming out of   
   diapers, and the grandparents are going into them". His skit on his    
   colonoscopy (you can find it on YouTube) is an absolute scream. A few of   
   the highlights are as follows:   
      
   1) He downs all the fluids for the prep work, that was meant to be done   
   over 6 hours in just under 10 minutes. His stomach starts making funny   
   noises, sounding like the fireplace in The Amityville Horror. Then, his   
   underwear tapped him on the shoulder, and said "Run!!".   
      
   2) He passed everything he had eaten in his entire life...plus things he   
   had thought of eaten, things the neighbors had eaten, and a red bicycle    
   in the garage. Several hours later, what was coming out of him was classed   
   as "mountain spring water". :P   
      
   3) Afterwards, he was ready to go home, but the nurse told him he had to   
   "give back all the air they pumped into him", and "I have to verify that you    
   do it". He notes "I went to career day in high school. Nobody told me that    
   you could get paid good money for rating farts on a clipboard. I've got    
   friends who do that all the time for free". He adds "She wants me to do this,   
   and I need to do this. But, I was raised in the south, and my Momma taught me    
   NEVER to do that in front of a woman...especially in front of a woman you don't   
   know". He laments "I lock up"...so she has him get down on all fours in the    
   bed, and he knew it'd work. He said he thought of his wife's LaMaz (sp?)    
   childbirth class, and "the big push". He said "what came out of me was so loud,   
   and so long, that Fred Flintstone clocked out of work!!". He asked the nurse    
   if he could go home, and she said "Please do".    
      
     I heard of a case at a store, where this girl and her boyfriend were, and   
   he lets out this loud fart, and says her name, as if was HER who did it (when   
   it was actually him). She started crying, and ran out of the store. She should   
   have ended the relationship right then, for his insensitivity.   
      
     And, $h+! isn't dirty...it's an acronym for either "Ship High In Transit",   
   or "So Happy It's Thursday"...especially if you have Friday (or fart day)   
   or Saturday ($h!++erday) off from work.    
      
     After getting diagnosed with IBS and other issues 20 years ago, my   
   wife asked "You want me to bring your computer and ham radio stuff into   
   the bathroom?? You seem to spend so much time in here!!" :P   
      
     So, with that, I'll make a sewer pipe, and get the $h!+ out of there.
