TOWARD A CRITIQUE OF SHITTING (April 13, 2000)
You feel you need to shit. There is a fart building up, but you cannot let it go because you are in your office. Someone may always drop in. You walk to the toilet and close the door behind you. Facing the toilet bowl, you unbuckle your belt and let your pants drop. You pull your underpants down below your knees. Then you get some toilet paper and line the seat. As you bend, you finally release that fart. Then you turn around and sit on the toilet. Your nose is exactly where your ass used to be a second ago. What a silly way to go about shitting!
