A quick note: one of my subscribers said I made her cry every morning with her coffee, so I wrote something that is, hopefully, funny, or least not too sad.
Well, Paul! What we don't learn or experience in college! This has to be one of the best stories I have read of late! My goodness...to say I was feeling for you and your predicament, oh I was, and very much praying you would get relief and avoid the horror of being seen or the consequences that would arise in getting caught. I seesawed between anxiety and unleashed laughter all the way through! As hard as this may have been to write, it is a terrific piece on a VERY human experience of being between a rock and a hard spot. Appreciate the humor you were able to bring to a very human, albeit embarrassing, predicament. So glad you survived to write about it!
I am dead. I do not know if I will ever return to the living, I may just remain deceased laughing my ass off. Happy Thanksgiving, thank you for this. And I’m so grateful you’re here. On substack, but also in the world at large.
I'm almost afraid to tell you how much I loved this. I'm concerned that blathering on about the glory of this singular piece might diminish your perception of how people appreciate the brilliant prose you develop and share on a regular basis... writing that has so much meaning and value for all of us who read it. I mean talk about making a mountain out of a molehill, this shit story is a work of art. It made me feel less weird.
😂 my favorite part, 2nd only to the finding of your wallet, is your pride of efficiency at your own drunken, public shitting. Lol. I mean, of course you kinda timed it. It’s how a writers brain works. I don’t know what that means I just know it’s true.
Thank you for this Paul. You succeeded. This made me laugh -literally -out loud. And I really needed it. Trying to stop the incoming regime from shitting all over the world requires levity. You provided it. Thank you thank you. I’m really glad you’re here. xo
A bit ago, I wrote a piece on pooping (The Tao of Poo, I called it). I was a little worried people would be like eeeeeewwwwww! Why would you share this. Now, I feel in great company. 🤣
Oh my gosh!!! I’m crying!!! 🤣🤣

I have written at least 4 other essays about shit. It’s an eternal topic, IMHO.
It's certainly a perennial topic.

My public embarrassment and utter shame is worth it then ;-) Thank you for being here <3
I will be shaking my head for the rest of the day - maybe even the weekend.... 😂
Hahaha! But that title. Perfect.

Everybody poops!
Absolutely perfect.
Well, now, you made me cry -- from laughter.
Hahahahahah
