How to Shit

15 Easy Steps to Shit like a Woman:

  1. Under no circumstances use any other toilet than your own, regardless of any stomach pain which may be caused whilst waiting to get home.
  2. With the toilet-brush, clean any residue left on the pan by your boyfriend/husband. Also wipe his pubes off the seat with some toilet paper.
  3. Flush the toilet before starting. Then wash your hands.
  4. Line the toilet seat with toilet paper (as other people may have sat on the toilet since it was last bleached).
  5. Stuff toilet paper inside the pan to prevent splash-back.
  6. Pull panties down and sit. Some women may still prefer to squat over the seat as opposed to taking the risk of touching it with bare flesh.
  7. Release solids, but strain to avoid making any sounds.
  8. Rise and quickly flush before direct eye-contact is made with any faeces.
  9. Take a length of toilet paper and fold it several times to positively guarantee that no residue will touch bare skin (about five or six applications per role).
  10. Wipe once and throw paper into the pan. Do not look at the paper.
  11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 at least thirty times. It may be necessary to yell for your boyfriend/husband to find some more rolls to pass through the door while promising not to open his eyes or pass any comments. It is traditional to do this while he is trying to watch sport.
  12. Flush the toilet and replace the lid.
  13. Wash hands at least three times with disinfectant soap.
  14. Open all windows and spray approximately half-a-can of air freshener.
  15. Pick up all reading material left behind by your boyfriend/husband and leave bathroom, closing the door firmly behind you.

15 Easy Steps to Shit like a Man:

  1. Select reading material (can be anything except a porn-mag; tried by every man once, but never repeated - see step 4).
  2. Tell everyone along the way, "Just going for a dump, okay?" Always tell girlfriend/wife, especially when she has visitors.
    Other suitable phrases include:-
  3. Pull pants and trousers around ankles, then sit down.
  4. Adjust penis and testicles to hang comfortably without touching the toilet rim.
  5. Open reading material and relax.
  6. Whilst waiting, it is traditional to audibly fart.
  7. Sigh loudly as the first one bullets out. It is quite normal to experience a cold jet of water rocket up your anus as a result of the first bomb. This is to be endured if you want to be a real man.
  8. Remain sitting and reading until pins-and-needles set in to your legs and buttocks.
  9. Rise and look at the poo. Make mental notes of any irregularities to report to friends and girlfriend/wife, e.g. colour,consistency,any visible traces of peanuts, etc. You must tell people about it.
  10. Take long length of paper and wipe anus. You must look at the paper before throwing it into the pan.
  11. Repeat step 10 until there is no longer any evidence of faeces on the paper.
  12. Flush. If there is any residue left on the pan, under no circumstances attempt to clean it off. In due course, it will come away by itself. Or when your girlfriend/wife next uses the loo.
  13. Leave the seat up. Leave the reading material on the floor (you can use it again later).
  14. Wash your hands once.
  15. Vacate the bathroom, leaving the door open. It is important to a man's self-esteem that other people smell his produce.

One day in Eden

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God...

"Lord, I have A problem!"

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.

"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "What's a 'man', Lord?"

"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat,and be vain glorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such in a way that he will satisfy your ah, physical needs. He'll be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly.

"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.

"What's the catch, Lord?"

"Yeah, well.... you can have him on one condition."

"What's that, Lord?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring...So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first...So, just remember... it's a secret...Woman-to-woman!"

Men are from Mars, Women are from another Galaxy

This came from a student at Wake Forest Univ in North Carolina: Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at Southern Methodist University, English 44A, SMU, Creative Writing (Prof. Miller).

In-class Assignment for Wednesday: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."

"The following was actually turned in by two of my English students, Rebecca and Gary."

At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth -- when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.

Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Uniilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!"

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent.

Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.

Asshole.

Bitch.

How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?

ONE!!

And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. But if they did, by some miracle, find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID #)#(*(*^*% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN. WHY??? BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! THE HOUSE!!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS......That's how many.

Females Only

This letter was started by a woman like yourself in the hopes of bringing relief to other tired and discontented women. Unlike most chain letters this one does not cost you anything. Just send a copy of this letter to five of your friends who are equally tired and discontented.

Then, bundle up your husband or boyfriend and send him to the woman whose name appears at the top of the list and add your name to the bottom of the list.

When your name comes to the top of the list, you will receive 16,877 men and one of them is bound to be a hell of a lot better than the one you already have.

Do not break the chain. One woman broke the chain and got her own S.O.B. back.

P.S. At this writing a friend of mine had already received 184 men. They buried her yesterday, but it took three undertakers 35 hours to get the smile off her face, and 2 days to get her legs together so they could close the coffin.
