Do You Visually Examine Your Poop? Why?

I’ve been holding off on having a will drawn up, just out of laziness I guess, but the day I take a blue shit is the day I call up my attorney and say “Hey, let’s get on this thing.”

The day of my blue poo all I did was call my boyfriend of the time in to have a look. No, not just for him to get his jollies but because both his parents are doctors. I figured he might be able to give me some insight. We narrowed it down to the huge amounts of Kool-Aid I had been drinking.

I knew I was going to regret clicking that link :smack: Where the hell do you people find these sites?

Also, this is the 3rd thread I’ve seen in a week that mentions the “poop-shelf” toilets in Germany. I can’t imagine how this works or what it looks like. Can anyone find a link to the design?

Personally, I’m just hoping to find one which looks like Richard Nixon. After all, potato prsidents are so passe.

I’m in the ‘diseased’ catagory, so watching my poo is a good indicator of my internal health.

Plus, when you eat the “Hulk” chocolate syrup, it turns green.*

  • Yes it does, EnderW24.

I avoid the whole dilemma by wiping while sitting down, and just making sure to drop the wad at the front of the bowl so as not to obscure my view of the brown trout.

“I am not a dook!”

And you wonder why you two are no longer together? :slight_smile:

Back to the original question.

What’s different, ever, from one poop to the next? Since I broached this question herein I’ve been sneaking a peak at the partially-submerged submarine I leave in the toilet bowl, risking the smear of shit all along my crack. Hell, it’s always exactly the same - semi-solid, semi-submerged, yellow-brown in colour and three or four little tubes, each about four centimetres in length, diameter at the thickest point about 1.5 centimetres. Always the same, no matter what I eat or drink. Quite a bore, really, and does little to inform me of potential ailments of irregularities.

So… I still ask why? Why look at all?

Don’t they all?

As some others have previously mentioned, having suffered some health problems in that area, I often inspect for signs of blood.

How exactly do you do this?

I would guess that those who are wiping while sitting down are probably wiping from back to front, most of them are probably female (they have no obstacles in the way of a back-front wipe.) This is a bad thing as it tends to increase the chance of urinary infections.

Another good thing to look for in your poo is blood. Blood could be a sign of BAD THINGS happening in your body.

Another green pooper here. After a long St. Patrick’s Day celebration and one too many green beers, I was stunned to find my body eliminating green poop!

The only saving grace was that it was one helluva party~

I never wipe from back to front. It is a really easy way to get all sorts of infections.

Lean forward, reach in and go for it.

I’ve never understood why this is so hard for people.

I mentioned this awhile back but what I can’t stand is when the guy in the stall next to you rolls off some paper and just starts rubbin’ and rubbin’ and it begins to sound like Homer Formby sandpapering a knothole. I mean Jeez dude, give it a good wipe and move on. No sense in making it look like a bunch of kids have been finger painting back there.

I look at mine too. I guess it’s a deep-down kind of automatic response in a lot of people to see if your system’s working properly. But sometimes if I feel like I shit a brick, I look because I’m hoping to see if it’s a two-footer!

When I have a super long one that breaks in half on the way out, I’m kind of dissapointed.

Uh, everybody thinks this way, right?

They probably don’t drink enough coffee.

German Toilets :eek:

Well, it’s more pleasant than using your fingers to examine it. Heyo!

One of the reasons for the “shelf in the toilet” is, it may be a medical specimen model. Do your business and it remains on the shelf, high and dry[so to speak] and much more easily reclaimable[and into a specimen container] than if it was afloat. We had one on every ward when I was a medic way back when.
