Watching this because I just came out of the bathroom and was curious.

My great grandpa had a bathroom added to his house after living without one for all his life. A week later they found he had torn down the new bathroom and demolished it. When asked why he said “ I can’t believe people want to shit in the same building they eat in”. He was dead serious. In his time people shit outside for a reason

I've been making a lot of healthy smoothies at home and lately I've noticed my poops are not smelling bad! I really don't smell anything at all lately

[DREADLOCKS]

I was going to comment with a poop joke but it's too corny.

[abutts]

I have a friend who’s stools you can smell a mile away.

And how come pooping is so addictive? Who loves that feeling of pressing out a long huge fat loaf and just getting a high off it??

[ashleynctzen]

Its a rare occurrence but sometimes after i go i really gotta get out of there, like it smells like death😂

Some read news papers, some read magazines, some text. I’m simple, I watch a poop vid while I go.

I would comment a poop joke but people would get so butt hurt

[butteheadbuttrack]

Everybody thinks their own poop doesn't stink but everyone feels other peoples' poop stinks bad.

I came here because I'm sitting in my car and my farts smell like sulphur.

0:53 I need this man to tell that to my doctors so I won’t have to eat healthy 😂

*-I know this is a weird statement but when my mom was younger her brothers used to call her lumberjack because her poop smelled so bad because she ate salad.-*

Eat dry fish, egg yolk and black pepper to poop better smell.
