I have occassionally been the lucky recipient of clockwork bowel movements–and nothing is more liberating than having to poo at the same time every day. This usually happens whenever I come back from Hawaii or Taiwan…and for some reason, I’ll have to take a dump every morning. It’s refreshing…rejuvenating…and takes a load (pun intended! pun intended!) off my mind (but let’s not read that into meaning I believe my mind is equivalent to my butt).
However, apparently my body feels that I deserve some form of punishment for—I don’t know what. And thus, lately I have had to poo in the middle of the night. It’s becoming quite the distraction…I’ll be dreaming that I’m sitting in a law school exam, and the subsequent oppression starts to manifest itself in the form of physical pain. But when I wake up, I’ll realize the pain comes from a large mass of gas forming in my intestines–a sign that I need to poop NOW.
So here’s what I’m thinking…my intestines took a vacation to Zimbabwe or something…and so now they’re jetlagged. Hence, when they feel the need to drop some baggage, they’re running on Zimbabwe time—which is equivalent to midnight in California (naturally, I didn’t bother to calculate this).
My intestines better get it together SOON, or else I’m going to have to start taking some action on my own: spicy-ass food (not, “ass food” as in suppositories…it’s more as in “really spicy”).
I am a genius!

Good luck with all of your gastrointestinal adventures! Tell your colon to mail you a postcard!
LOL ex-lax will probably help
This is hilarious! At least you probably don’t have irritable bowel syndrome (which wouldn’t wake you up at night), or Chron’s disease (which would give you diarrhea at inopportune times). I hope your stool isn’t watery (from bacterial toxins, or simply malabsorption) or bloody (from other bacteria or inflammatory bowel disease). And I surely hope that there’s no bowel obstruction, since that could be dangerous. Forgive me, but I have exams this coming week – and I have to regurgitate a bunch of gastrointestinal crap. Laters.
yum, doc told me to get some “fleet phospho-soda” today to flush out my system
see how it all goes soon enough…
