Making Bank

The signs were plastered all over our emergency department: "For any patient with diarrhea... call Jan!"

Jan was a university employee who had been conducting a diarrhea study in our ED. They needed hundreds of patients to participate. So whenever we had a patient with the squirts, one of the nurses would call Jan. She would tell the patients about the study to see if they were interested. All they had to do was fill out a questionnaire, give a stool sample, and get fifty dollars for it.

I ate lunch with the Diarrhea Lady (her nickname) one afternoon. She told me how much trouble she was having getting control subjects for her study.

Me: "What do you have to do?"

Diarrhea Lady: "Just give a stool sample."

Me: "You don't have to have diarrhea?"

DL: "No. We need normal control subjects, too."

Me: "Do you still get the fifty dollars?"

DL: "Yes."

Me: "Sign me up!"

Within five minutes, she had produced a plastic bucket and a small questionnaire for me to fill out.

DL: "Call me when you have your sample. I have to get it to the lab within two hours."

Me: "Don't go anywhere. I feel a specimen coming on right now."

I am always participating in studies at work. Most have been on a volunteer basis and involved needles. So I was happy to participate in this one that was painless AND paid money. I was amazed that more hospital employees weren't lining up for this opportunity. I turned around to my coworkers in the lunchroom and asked them if they had participated. Only one had.

After depositing my specimen, I went back to my office to tell my cube mates.

Me: "She's in the lunch room right now, if you're interested."

No one got up.

Me: "It's the easiest fifty bucks I've ever made."

They looked at me like I had two heads. One of the nurses said, "I don't need fifty dollars that badly."

Me: "I don't need fifty dollars that badly, either, but I had to take a dump anyway! Why not get paid for it?"

I called up my mom and my sister to tell them about this easy cash-making opportunity. My mother wasn't interested, but my (Shameless) sister was happy to earn such an easy fifty. She drove right over to the hospital to pick up a bucket.

I also brought one home for my husband. He wasn't as enthused as I was about having to crap in a plastic bucket, but he did it anyway.

That was the easiest fifty dollars I have ever made!

Sounds like easy money to me.

LeandraCullen (389) -- 08.08.2008

I would do it, I don't see why all your cube mates were so opposed to it.

I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!

turd turdgutson (112) -- 08.08.2008

If I'd participated on that study they'd have needed a gallon container and a gas mask.

Great comment!

How much for a sperm sample? I can multi task.I can cum and go at the same time.

A fan of poop (not verified) -- 08.08.2008

how could you give away your poop child? Did you give it a name at least?

Deja Poo (649) -- 08.08.2008

$50 just for crapping in a bucket? Dude, if I could do that everyday, I would quit my day job and develop a serious roughage habit. Cabbage would be my best friend. I could get Mrs. DP and Lil DP to chip in too. We'd be on our way to Wellsville in no time.

I've been considering taking a dump in one of those annoying orange buckets that Home Depot leaves all over their stores. I'll have to time it to coincide with my vacation as I will probably be spending some time wearing an orange jump suit.

The Regifter (50) -- 08.08.2008

I'd take the fifty bucks just to use it to wipe my ass with Grant's face.

LeandraCullen (389) -- 08.08.2008

prarie doggin, the orange buckets seem like a good idea. those piss me off to no end, b/c in the store close to m they leave them where ppl are tripping over them. That should teach them a lesson. Although, could it be considered turd terrorism?

turd turdgutson (112) -- 08.08.2008

No, it wouldn't be turd terrorism. I think it would fall into the category of an 'Anger Poop.'

Supposedly, there is a difference.

I'd give them a bucket full for free. It's only shit.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 08.09.2008

As I said in the forums, I told you that you'd have volunteers! Where is this poop study when I need the extra cash?

_______
Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

Crapper John Mc... (96) -- 08.09.2008

The only research study they're promoting at my office right now is for swimmers ear. If you have swimmers ear and participate in the study, you get $400. I have been trying SO hard to get it, but to no avail.

Then YOU get $50 for doing something you'd have to do anyway! When will it be MY turn to poop in a hat for $50!?!

prarie doggin (2290) -- 08.09.2008

My office is doing a research study on people who have a whalers harpoon sticking completely through their torso. Response has been light, so maybe this extra advertisement will help.

Squat-n-leaveit (185) -- 08.09.2008

My grandson made some (experimental!) Pad Thai. I'm very happy to see him in the kitchen. (he does try!) I would join the study, if they have a metal bucket. (they'll need it!)

ChiefThunderbutt (923) -- 08.09.2008

PD.........How can I contact your office? I think I fit the description of the test subject they are searching for. I was unfortunately run through with a harpoon while swimming off Nova Scotia a few weeks ago. I went north because the last time I was in Florida every time I tried to lie on the beach for a tan, Green Peace tossed me in the ocean.

prarie doggin (2290) -- 08.09.2008

Chief, take a flight to N.J. and we will pick you up. Hopefully the airline won't charge you for the extra carry on. Will you need a stretch limo?

daphne (3680) -- 08.09.2008

I used to get swimmer's ear at least every six months as a kid. We had custom ear plugs and prescription drops and everything, but to no avail. I can't tell you the amount of times I had to pull a giant pink erythromycin pill in a plastic bag out of my pocket to swallow with that icky milk carton you get at lunch.

I hope you find something interesting in your research. Swimmer's ear is the devil.

prarie doggin (2290) -- 08.09.2008

Well I used to get a much rarer affliction called swimmers rear. Daphne, you thought your pills were big?

ChiliKahKah (90) -- 08.11.2008

Heck, I am cheap. I would have done it for half as much.

MSG (745) -- 08.12.2008

Can a person donate multiple samples at different times? It's not clear what your researcher is researching about the poop. If it doesn't involve your personal DNA (which would mean that, after you pooped once for her, that would be all that could be useful from you), it seems to me that you can keep earning $50 each time you have to poop, because (as you know) your own poop is at least slightly different every time. I'd think that could be a steady source of extra income and thus could aid a struggling economy.

Kay O. Pectate (87) -- 08.12.2008

I don't remember what they were looking for but I do know it was a one time "donation" for control subjects. Trust me, my story would have been about much more money than $50 had they let me.

shitwit (571) -- 08.12.2008

Yeah, swimmers ear is a bitch. I get it any time I get water in my right ear. Apparently my ear canals are like the size of my 15 month old's.

This "study" reminds me of a study I wanted to participate in when I was in college. We had to supply a urine sample (for what, I forget). Well... little did I know that on the day I was supposed to "donate" I started my period just a few hours before going into the stall. It was supposed to be a mid-stream collection and they wanted us to prepare the area with a moist towelette. Right before I went in to the stall the lady asked me if it was "my time of the month" and said that if it was I couldn't participate b/c the blood would show up and throw off the results. So I said NO. Then I went into the stall and - BINGO! There it was - my monthly friend had come for an early visit! I was so mad I just walked out and handed them my empty cup.

myrandex (1) -- 08.13.2008

well you viewers of the feminine variety culd follow the description of a recent article and video cam yourself going (I believe even keeping the face and full nudity out of the video) and score 100 Euro. If only I fell into that category....I could use the cash right about now

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 09.09.2008

dude i'd gladly do it. i throw that stuff away almost every day. hell i'd save up a nice load just to impress. or i'd slip in my dog's shit just to confuse her. " wtf she ate alpo?"
