Poll-ish Humor

For Women Only

Having received -- in response to a post last week -- no fewer than 25 fervent but conflicting attestations about personal bathroom behavior, I have pulled back on a planned comics-related poll in favor of this one.

1. When at work, I will poop:
a. Only in an emergency.
b. Only if really necessary, and I will make great effort to find an empty bathroom, including going into a bathroom and just washing my hands if I find it occupied. If I take a seat alone, I will keep flushing so that if someone comes in, I have plausible deniability and can exit with dignity.
c. Any old time, but I am not all that happy about it, to tell you the truth.
d. Any old time. No compunctions whatsoever.

2. Taking reading material into the bathroom with you is: (choose the best answer)
a. Awful, because it has no class.
b. Embarrassing, because it tells everyone what you are going to do in there.
c. Completely sane and logical.

3. I consider pooping, in general:
a. Filthydirty. I wish it were unnecessary.
b. A body thing you have to do. I don't think about it much, one way or another.
c. A fabulous experience, generally speaking.
