Ok, so everyone, at one time or another, looks at the cable they just laid. As hunters can tell the state, location, direction and speed of their quarry by the scat, so you can tell a lot about yourself by the state of your stool.

So today, I stand and turn back, and there’s black in the stool. I think, shit, I’m bleeding. Black tarry stools are an indication of intestinal bleeding. No, it’s not that, it’s like, what, olives? Shit, I haven’t eaten any olives in weeks. Wait… those are BLUEBERRIES. I ate blueberries for lunch. Less than two hours ago. I ate my sandwich, a handful of carrots, a couple pickles, and a baggie of blueberries. I ate the blueberries last, and they’re already out of my system. How can I not be a twig, if food won’t stay in me any longer than that?
