Men Do Know Their Business Objectives
Potty Talk
Last week I challenged myself to sit down for every bathroom visit to better understand the female point of view. My wife has made outrageous claims over the years by stating that she never knows what is going to come out when she sits on the toilet. Read more here.
Results
- There were certainly no surprises. I have found a few women who agree with my wife’s claims, but the majority of women I have spoken to tell me that my wife is unique. Perhaps they are lying to me, but it sounds like my wife is on her own with this one.
- I couldn’t make it the entire 7 days. I made it for 3 days and then had to call it quits. I did learn that sitting down on the toilet every time is terrible. I had no room to put my stuff down, I had to waste an extra minute every trip, I was worried about drinking anything because I didn’t want to go to the bathroom, and of course I was worried about the germs.
Overall it was a great experiment, but one which I will not try again.

I would bet most the women are lying to you. Especially if they aren’t family members and are office women. Surprises happen all the time, I’m in your wife’s court on this one.

It also depends on the person’s diet. If someone drinks a lot of water and eats well (ie vegetables, beans, fiber) they are more apt to have those surprises. If someone exists on a lard diet, cheese and fast food, their systems are typically more backed up. If you are sh*tting a brick, you know the brick is coming.

I realize that is post is over a year old, but felt compelled to respond. I think the “surprise” that your wife is alluding to has more to do with the *number* of children she has had.
That is, I, too have four children (currently ages 9, 7, 5, & 3)… and I am frequently “surprised” as well.
