From the Damned Fool: (https://www,damnedfool.com)
They did a survey. It was on Facebook. What’s the best book? it said.
https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/keep90days/2014-05-06_14-55-47.pngThere was The Bible and Moby Dick and Shakespeare and The Da Vinci Code and the Book of Mormon. I might try to read those if I have to be in the hospital sometime, maybe.
But what I voted for was Everybody Poops.
It was for kids, I guess. Its educational message was that everybody poops. It started with dogs and cats, then worked its way up. I don’t remember if it got to elephants, which might make it too big a book, but finally it got to people. I guess the moral was, “It’s okay to poop,” in case anybody wondered.
Maybe we think we’re the only one, just like we’re the only one who won’t die.
Why write about that? Don’t we all know it? But lots of great books say stuff that everybody knows. The Bible says be nice to people, and we already know that. Moby Dick says whales are big. Shakespeare says all the world’s a stage, or maybe now TV. So Everybody Poops doesn’t mess around, it gets right to the point.
It’s required reading for Fools, like starting out math with two and two is four.
It would do us a lot of good if everybody read that book. Because people forget it. The President poops. The Supreme Court poops. All the candidates poop. All the movie stars poop. The basketball players and the cheerleaders poop. Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha all pooped, at least once a day. It gives you a perspective.
Big problem is people who forget that they do it. Unless in fact they really don’t. Maybe they invest it in stocks and bonds. The idea they have something in common with the rest of the human race, not to mention basset hounds, might be too much to take. It’s almost communistic.
But I still vote for Everybody Poops.
