Funny Poop

I went to the liquor store yesterday on my bicycle,
bought a bottle of whisky, and put it in the bicycle basket. As I was about to leave, I thought to myself
that if I fell off the bicycle, the bottle would break. So I drank all the whisky before I cycled
home. It turned out to be a very good
decision, because I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home. Imagine what would have happened to the
bottle!
Etcetera

Got Poop? Let me know!
I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me
by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your
input is appreciated.
