That almost looks like chocolate. You should have dragged your finger across the bottom and gave 'er a lick. That would have been the only way to know for sure. ---

I haven’t squeeled that much since I played Ned Beatty’s part in the church production of _Deliverance_. 😃 Wow. After I started breathing again I felt nothing but remorse for you. I’m a bit anal myself and would’ve also given myself a Silkwood or two…or three. The funniest thing ever used to be the story of how my ex drove up to a payphone to call me to start an argument and after he hung up, realized that there was shit, human shit, on the earpiece. You’re story’s better. Beef Stew ---

I’m still wondering how you can be sure it was shit, and not some other brown sludge. I mean, pipes can sometimes hold mineral scale and stuff in funny colors - why couldn’t that be some sort of scum from the water system that got stirred up as you were filling your bath? ---

Oh HELL no. Those pictures are so much worse than I was imagining. At least you rinsed off and whatnot before you went to bed. ---

Yes, I suppose anything’s possible. But… > [@Happy Ledervedder](#): > > Front desk confirmed there was an “problem” over the weekend, and they apologized profusely. There was a look of utter terror on the manager’s face when I told him what room I was in, and that I had a serious health concern with the hot tub. They never actually came out and confirmed it was poop, but they didn’t need to, and I didn’t expect them to. But we both knew that the other guy knew. FTR, they also gave me a new room, comped my entire 7 days, and gave me 500 club bonus points to boot. Pretty sure they wouldn’t comp me for over $700 and give away free club points for just rust or mineral deposits. Happy ---

Urrp. I wanna shower just from reading this. I’d be back in therapy if it happened to me. I’ll never look at a hotel jacuzzi again without thinking of Happy. ---
