Going after it was a real adventure. \*\* Next time your playing is sub-par, you have a _very_ decent excuse. So, I see I’m not the only one to play on the throne – I often take my drumsticks and practice pad in there, thus killing two birds with one stone. ---

In the short time since I joined this board I’ve heard more talk about dropping things in the toilet then fishing them out again than anything else. Not that I’m complaining ---

Glad to see your spirits are up, Lieu! My husband worked with a Mexican guy who would always say he had to MAKE a shit. I always thought it was much more accurate than TAKING one. ---

I go logging, lay some cable, retire to the library, fire-up the thunder mug or crank one out. depending on the crowd. Sometimes I don’t announce my intentions at all and just quietly excuse myself. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-off-to-take-a-dump/187365.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-off-to-take-a-dump/187365.md?page=3)
