HOW TO POO AT WORK

OK, I'm not usually one to post other people's shit, but since I'm in the middle of part II of the Build-A-Bear trilogy, and since I'm eternally slack, I decided this may me a good time for some filler. It won't happen often.

A good friend of mine sent this to me at work and I was laughing so hard I had to send it home to read the rest. I think UNCLE TED is my favorite, I love the name. I know, I know, potty humor is tasteless and juvenile, but I find it hilarious if it's good, and this was hilarious. I used to be one of those peeps who didn't poo at work, and that was a miserable time in my life. I slowly evolved into an emergency pooer, and now I just don't give a shit, when it's time to go I don't think twice (especially after my world famous Crazy For That Tuna Casserole).

I bet half of all the uptight peeps at work are non-work pooers. Why torture yourself? I think I would still be hesitant about doin the poo on my first couple weeks at a new job, I mean how comfortable can you be? Anyway, check it out. I figure if I think it's funny then the five people who read my blog might agree. And if you have already seen this somewhere before, my apologies, I don't get out much.

peace!!! BOH

HOW TO POO AT WORK


We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POO is inevitable. For those who hate pooing at work, follow this Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.

CROP DUSTING * When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.

FLY BY * The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooing. Walk in and check for other pooers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may be come suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

ESCAPEE * A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK * When forcing a poo, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH * The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poo hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poo has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME * Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOER * A colleague who poos at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooer enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooer before entering the bathroom.

THE POOING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N) * A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooing goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Pooers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS * A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooer of your sex entering the bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR * Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poo at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH * A phoney cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE * A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooer can poo in peace.

WATERMELON * A poo that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.

HAVANA OMELETTE * A case of diarrhea that creates series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using CAMO-COUGH with an ASTAIRE..

LOOK OUT BELOW * This is performed by unrolling a few feet of toilet paper and letting it fall into the toilet before a poo begins. The happy result is you can safely deal with WATERMELONS and most HAVANA OMELETTES without the annoying side effect of loud noise and the all-too shocking splash of cold toilet water back on your butt. This will need to be repeated several times, if necessary, so it should always be combined with the COURTESY FLUSH.

UNCLE TED * A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poo when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees. Most Uncle Teds are encountered in the last minutes of lunchtime and during morning and afternoon break times. Try to avoid these.
