Everyone Poops?

Most people in my life know I do not shy away from most taboo subjects. As I'm sure you have already assumed, today's subject is poop. For Christmas a few years back my brother bought me the book Everybody Poops, by Taro Gomi, and yes I was an adult when said book was received. As I have gotten older I have accepted the fact that even though most would prefer to not discuss or acknowledge certain "things", plain and simple, we all do it, and there is nothing we can do to make it go away (although I'm sure some day there will be a magic pill for that too).

So what brings about my post of the day? There have been several occasions where I have been in the restroom at work (maybe pooping?) and I've heard the door to the bathroom open, someone come in, turn around and walk out. Now, you were not in there long enough to check for boogers (I didn't hear you blow your nose), wash your hands (didn't hear the sink), or probably even check your hair. I looked under the stall, I saw your feet; you walked in, saw someone was in there and turned around and walked out. You had to poop and didn't want company. Now if you have explosive diarrhea, I thank you for sparing me, but really what are you going to do? Walk around to all the bathrooms hoping to find an empty one (and hoping it stays empty)? Just come in and let it go. 

I have to interject here quick about those who do come in and "play around" waiting for the rest room to empty. "Play around" usually involved blowing your nose to cover the sound.

For the sake of this post, let's just say we are discussing the pooping at work. Here are some thoughts as to why you should savor the moment and not run from it:

• You are getting paid to sit on the toilet!
• You don't have to clean the toilet (usually, but please flush!)
• You can use unlimited amounts to TP because you don't have to pay for it!
• It's a great excuse to walk away from your desk for 5 to 10 minutes

Yes pooping can be embarrassing, but I hope I have brightened your day a little with my post and enlightened you a bit - now go poop it out!
