				A friend sent this to me.. and I think I might have cracked a rib) 
 
 
I went to "Lowes" recently while not being altogether sure that   
 
course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening   
 
I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented   
 
'you're definitely going to sh*t yourself' road-kill chili. Tasty stuff,   
 
albeit hot-to the point of being painful, which comes with a written   
 
guarantee from me that if you eat it, the next day both of your butt   
 
cheeks WILL fall off.
 
 
 Here's the thing. I had awakened that morning, and even after two   
 
cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened.  
 
No 'Watson's Movement 2'. Despite habanera peppers swimming   
 
their way through my intestinal tract, I was unable to create the usual   
 
morning symphony referred to by my dear wife as 'thunder and lightning'.  
 
 
Knowing that a time of reckoning HAD to come, yet not sure of just when,   
 
I bravely set off for "Lowes" Store, my quest being paint and supplies to   
 
refinish the den.
 
Upon entering the store, at first all seemed normal. I selected a cart and   
 
began pushing it about dropping items in for purchase. It wasn't until I was   
 
at the opposite end of the store from the restrooms that the pain hit me.  
 
 
Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about... I'm referring   
 
to that 'Uh, Oh, I gotta go' pain that always seems to hit us at the wrong time...  
 
The thing is, this pain was different. The habaneras in the chili from the night   
 
before were staging a revolt.  
 
 
In a mad rush for freedom they bullied their way through the small intestines,   
 
forcing their way into the large intestines, and before I could take one step in   
 
the direction of the restrooms which would bring sweet relief, it happened. The   
 
peppers fired a warning shot.  
 
 
There I stood, alone in the paint and stain section, suddenly enveloped in a   
 
noxious cloud the likes of which has never before been recorded. I was afraid   
 
to move for fear that more of this vile odor might escape me.  
 
 
Slowly, OH SO slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body,   
 
and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as clerk in a red apron turned   
 
the corner and asked if I needed any help.
 
 
I don't know what made me do it, but I stopped to see what his reaction would   
 
be to the malodorous effluvium that refused to dissipate... Have you ever been   
 
torn in two different directions emotionally?  Here's what I mean, and I'm sure   
 
some of you at least will be able to relate.  
 
 
I could've warned that poor clerk, but didn't.  I simply watched as he walked into   
 
an invisible, and apparently indestructible, wall of odor so terrible that all he could   
 
do before gathering his senses and running, was to stand there blinking and waving   
 
his arms about his head as though trying to ward off angry bees.  This, of course,   
 
made me feel terrible, but then made me laugh. ......BIG mistake!!!!!  
 
 
Here's the thing. When you laugh, it's hard to keep things 'clamped down', if you   
 
know what I mean. With each new guffaw an explosive issue burst forth from my   
 
nether region. Some were so loud and echoing that I was later told a few folks in   
 
other aisles had ducked, fearing that someone was robbing the store and firing   
 
off a shotgun.  
 
 
Suddenly things were no longer funny. 'It' was coming, and I raced off through the   
 
store towards the restrooms, laying down a cloud the whole way, praying that I'd   
 
make it before the grand mal assplosion took place.  
 
 
Luck was on my side. Just in the nick of time I got to the john, began the inevitable   
 
'Oh my God', floating above the toilet seat because my * is burning SO BAD,   
 
purging.  One poor fellow walked in while I was in the middle of what is the true   
 
meaning of 'Shock and Awe'.  He made a gagging sound, and disgustedly said,   
 
'Son-of-a-*!, and asked, 'did it smell that bad when you ate it?', then quickly   
 
left the room.  
 
 
Once finished and I left the restroom, reacquired my partially filled cart intending   
 
to carry on with my shopping when a store employee approached me and said,   
 
'Sir, you might want to step outside for a few minutes. It appears some prankster   
 
set off a stink bomb in the store. The manager is going to run the vent fans on high   
 
for a minute or two which ought to take care of the problem.'  
 
 
My smirking of course set me off again, causing residual gases to escape me... The   
 
employee took one sniff, jumped back pulling his shirt up to cover his nose and, pointing  at me in an accusing manner shouted, 'IT'S YOU!', then ran off returning moments later with the manager.  I was unceremoniously escorted from the premises and asked none too kindly not to return. _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |
