Bathroom Spirituality


I really hate the Pepto-Bismol commercial singing about nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach & diarrhea. It really makes me sick. Perhaps the commercial is designed to get you sick so you have to use the product?.....hmmmmm. I digress. These people on the commercial annoy me. Why? You ask. Because they're meant to be funny and I find nothing funny about the afore mentioned list. What's so damn funny about them? Anything bringing me pain is automatically UNFUNNY. Nothing is funny when I'm suddenly stricken with uncontrolled lower abdominal pain only to have my skin fill with white hot chills all the while praying in an unknown tongue to a toilet god who's been sent to punish me for what I may have eaten. WHY GOD?!? WHY?!? They always show these people dancing (not funny!) in an office or similar setting where a toilet is usually close by. This is not what really happens when you have one or all of these symptoms. If you're like me you're usually driving far from anything or perhaps in a public place (such as a park) where there are no facilities. When this happens the last thing I'm doing is dancing so as not to provoke the toilet gods and bring condemnation upon my clothing and anyone around me. Never fear! Just drink the pink vomit in a bottle and all will be well and your poop will be banished to blackness in toilet god hell.

It's all so true. I can't even smell Pepto without throwing up. Vomitatious.
