Ever have one on the way, and know it’s going to be a doozy? A rocket propelled crap of such volume and proportion as to leave the bowl’s porcelean etched with the imprint of it’s passing?

I had one of those. It was on it’s way. It was going to come along like a freight train, and if I didn’t hang on,I was gonna be swept along in the tide. I completely disrobed because I knew there was a shower at the end of this movement, no question.

So I plant my ass on the throne, toes clamped around the base of the john for support, leaning hard against the edge of the bathtub, prepared to grab onto the sink for support if need be.

And I loosened those special muscles, preparing myself mentally for the gates of hell itself to be unleashed. And then the noise came.

“Poit”

WHAT?????

One solitary, sturdy turd, not much bigger than a grape, had shot out and made an armstand back double-somersault with one and a half twists, and entered the water as cleanly as a knife.

And nothing else came.

I squeezed, I groaned, I lifted my right leg up over my lap and bent down to eject the rest of the movement I just knew was there, based on the gut rumbles I’d had before. What was this about? Why would I have such warning bells and whistles for one measly turd?

My disapointment knows no bounds. Now I have to drink a gallon of coffee and eat a bigass bran muffin. I will shif if it kills me- which it might.
