If #1 and #2 are simultaneous, maybe it qualifies as a #3.
I make round(ish) pizzas, so my preferred crust is on a slice, which is not a triangle.
I have literally never noticed/thought about my #1/#2 sequence. I’ll be observing it now though!
Please take notes.
I track my bowel movements with a #2 pencil.
mmm
In my case, #2 often is delayed a bit, so that the bladder’s already empty.
And if/as men usually stand for #1 but sit for #2, I’d think that with male anatomy they’re usually separate?
My understanding is that men usually stand for #1 if not associated with #2. If #2 is involved, both #1 and #2 are accomplished in the sitting position. I person with a penis could certainly stand for #1 and then sit for #1 at the same occasion. I never thought that anyone did it that way, but who knows. Maybe that is what the poll question was getting at.
But, this is fascinating, as usual. This type of thing is rarely discussed and I for one am always amazed by the variations in private habits that are revealed here. I don’t recall exactly, but a poll here revealed a high percentage of males who sit “usually or always” for #1.
Did yiu hear about the constipated mathematician who worked it out with a pencil?
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I assume it was medical jargon for “right away.” Don’t make me wait for my damn pizza!
I flat out can’t answer the Bezos/Musk/Zuckerberg polls. I mean, they all have far too much money, which tends to bring out the evil in people, they’ve all done some pretty ruthless things to obtain that money, even after they had more than any 100 people would ever need. Does that make them “evil”? I don’t think I’m qualified to judge. It makes me wish I could believe in a just God.
Yes, that’s what i assumed, and google confirms it. Sort of ASAP for
smart people !
I don’t really think of Bezos as evil at all. He’s a remarkable success story. And he’s already given away half his money. Sure, it was to his ex-wife but it still counts.
I grew up calling them sprinkles, but since living in New England, I kind of like the word jimmies.
Posr-retirement I track every single expense in a spreadsheet and categorize it. Well, one exception: if someone takes cash out of the bank, I’ll just label that cash. Otherwise, if I know where the money went, down to the individual credit card purchase, I drop it into the spreadsheet.
“Sprinkles” seems most familiar, though I recognize some of the others; so I chose that. However, I rarely call them anything at all.
I have no idea which of those people is most evil, or least evil. I’m not sure that “evil” actually applies; though from what I’ve read of them they’re all obnoxious.
I keep detailed records of farm expenses; I need this to do my taxes. I keep general records of other expenses, but not to the penny. Some things are kept more precisely than others.
ETA:
And I agree with all of this. Where else could I even ask whether people with male anatomy sometimes find it difficult to shit without simultaneously pissing?
(I suppose I could ask a doctor; but I suspect the doctor would think it was a really weird question, and might make a note on my chart about my supposed mental state.)
Since this whole subject is a big pile of TMI anyway, I’ll chime in.
My bladder does not fully empty when I pee sitting down. So if I need to do both, I’ll sit first; #1 and #2 happen simultaneously (or close to it), but sometimes I need to stand and complete the #1 portion afterwards.
Don’t go rustling my Jimmies!
Me too: #1 and #2 are nearly the same set of muscles. If I suspect #2 is in the offing, I’ll sit just in case. Then #1 comes first and then I’ll push harder and maybe get #2, maybe not (pffffrt!).
I have an Excel speadsheet I built many years ago to keep track of my monies. I’d tried using commercial budgeting software but I never found one I liked, then after taking an Excel class for work I applied my new knowledge to my personal finances, and I could make it work exactly the way I wanted.
I admit I don’t keep up with it all the time, sometimes I’ll get lazy and not do it for a month or so, but eventually I’ll update it with fresh numbers and let it do its thing.
The multi-colored ones that don’t taste like much of anything except sugar are sprinkles. The brown-colored, chocolate-flavored ones are jimmies. I thought everyone knew that.
I’ve bowled in the White House basement.
That’s an achievement. Was it a school trip, a scouting tour, or did one of your parents work there?
