As I sit here this morning looking for inspiration for this post I received a text message from my grandson. He just received from his parents his first real phone and he immediately reached out to me with a typical text from someone his age (11). It consisted of about 60 rows of poop emojis with a short sentence, “My gift to you LOL.” I’m not sure why it is that kids love talking about farting and pooping exclusively but it seems to be something trending online as well these days. Tick-Tock is full of farting individuals blasting away in crowded street scenes. I have to admit it’s incredibly funny and apparently poop humor starts at a very young age. Hoping that the “little shit” (no pun intended) will someday read this post and learn a few more disgusting facts about poop he needs to know.

• People often fart shortly after they die.

• The most germ laden place on your toilet isn’t the seat or even the bowl. It’s the handle.

• The average healthy adult expels between 100 and 200 grams, almost half a pound, of feces every day.

• More than 6.5 million Americans have fecal incontinence – the inability to control the passage of stool – and most of them are women.

• Americans used 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper every year, which represents at least 15 million trees.

• Most people produce 1 to 4 pints of gas and pass it approximately 14 times per day.

• The foul odor of flatulence comes from intestinal bacteria as it releases gases that contain sulfur and, in some cases, methane, one of the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming.

• Adolf Hitler suffered from chronic flatulence, for which he took anti-gas pills.

• 40% of the world’s people have no toilet, and must use the bathroom in any public place they can find: bushes, roadsides, alleys, etc.

• In a humid environment like the bathroom, a single bacterial cell can multiply into 1 billion cells overnight.

Well, there you have it folks, everything you never wanted to know about poop and its related activities. And a special thanks to my grandson (the poop specialist) for his inspiration.
