Poop

This one’s for my good friend, Miss Katie Connor or Gainsville, Georgia. (Bunny, can you ever forgive me?)

One of my favorite weblogs is written by a brilliant and uncontrollably funny women from Utah. Not a day goes by that I don’t check out what is going on with Dooce, aka Heather Armstrong, ex-Mormon and new mother. Heather is very fond of talking about her pooping difficulties and this reminded me of Katie, who is also fond of discussing those kinds of topics, especially in mixed company if possible.

Yesterday’s post, “Every comment should include the word poop,” was so hilarious I almost peed my pants. Someone sent Dooce a book called Put Hemorrhoids & Constipation Behind You, and she wanted to share this learned wisdom with the rest of the world:

Lesson number two in today痴 entry comes from the constipation book: 2) Did you know that you池e supposed to be able to poop in less than two minutes? IT SAYS SO IN THE BOOK, MEN. The optimum time from urge of evacuation to actual elimination should take no longer than SIX MINUTES! Which means you shouldn稚 have to take in any reading material. I have never in my life known a male who can poop in under 30 minutes, who doesn稚 have to take in an entire year痴 worth of MacWorld to see him from start to finish.

All I can say is, “Amen, sister! Preach on.”
