What was supposed to be the end to a nice, relaxing, long weekend had turned
into one of the most embarrassing and traumatic events in my life. I had gone to
my fiancé's home for the weekend in beautiful Goldsboro. It was the
typical guy weekend -- picking out a florist for the wedding, discussing the
silver, and determining whether anything monogrammed should be just "M or "McC."
I think that up until Monday morning I had maintained my stature in my new
in-laws eyes -- that is, up until The Incident took place.
Until that fateful morning, I hadn't taken a jammer in quite some time
so I knew my jaunt to the bathroom would be
interesting. When it was finally time, I was more
than pleased to break the old Eastern Carolina record of 20".
This was one of those deuces where I should've taken a picture for posterity or at least
gathered dudes around to partake in my proud accomplishments -- we're talking the
length of Manute Bol's arm here. But I did not think Kelly, her mom, or
her sister were not the show-and-smell type, so I had to content myself with a
mental snapshot as an internal ego boost.
Being an experienced shitter, this left me with quite a dilemma. Here I am, at my fiancé's home, with
her mother and sister downstairs, and I have this tremendous log sticking out of
the toilet. I decide to take the conservative approach: flush once... wipe...
flush again.
Phase I went well. Although it left skid marks Dale Earnhardt
would have been proud of, the evidence was gone.
Phase II: the wiping. Without getting too graphic, this was the problematic part
of the operation. It took a while to thoroughly complete the objective, and will take
a greater part of the Mirwood Forest to compensate for all the toilet paper
I needed. It was certainly a good thing I had been conservative with the
flushing!
As I attempted the second flush, I realized there was a miscalculation in my strategy.
The TP had done the fake out. It started to go down... only to come back in full
force as the toilet water crept ominously close to the top of the bowl.
I was not pleased. I started to worry. But I did not panic. I thought that the
toilet was just digesting my schlumpf and would need some time to recuperate.
Thus, I took a shower, planning to re-attempt Phase II in about fifteen minutes.
After drying off, I flushed again -- to no avail. The process repeated itself
three times. Flush and watch as the water test the upper limits of the bowl before its
return to normalcy.
Now I was worried. I needed the plunger. Like a U.S. commando, I stealthily
checked everywhere in the house, only to learn that the plunger was in Kelly's
mom's bathroom. Kelly would have to ask her mom for it. I was big time
embarrassed at this point. I was out of the closet -- Kelly's parents would now
know I was a Shitter. The mom gave me an awkward smile as she handed me the
plunger.
I climbed back upstairs and went to work like a Mario Brother. After five
minutes of plunging and sucking the Jaws of Life up and down the toilet bowl, I
gave up. I then made the biggest mistake of my life -- I told Kelly's mom I
couldn't unclog the toilet. She said, "Let me help."
There was nothing good that could come out of this, but I gave in. She came
upstairs, took the plunger, and went to work. You have to picture a nice, petite
Southern lady going to town on the toilet -- one foot on the wall, another
planted on the ground, pushing and pulling on the plunger with all her might.
She was so efficient that some of the original turd came back from the
aforementioned schlumpf. It was like Lazarus rising from the dead -- my turd was
alive and now what had been an embarrassing moment became a life-defining one for me.
It couldn't get worse, could it?
After raising the Titanic, and the subsequent flushing attempt, Kelly's mom gave up as
well. She raised the white flag and decided to wait until Kelly's father got
home from work. Thank God I was leaving the house soon and wouldn't have to see
his face when he learned of the kinds of dumps his soon-to-be son-in-law took.
I thought all was calm -- until I heard screams from downstairs. "Oh
my God! Hunter! Come down here quickly!" I ran down to the mom's bedroom where
she, Kelly, and the sister were all putting buckets all around the room. Dirty,
shitty water was pouring (not dripping -- POURING) from the ceiling all over my
new mom's bedroom -- all over the bed, all over the carpet, on top of pictures,
everywhere.
We scrambled to get garbage cans and buckets to collect my feces while the mom
and I ran back upstairs to the scene of the crime. The bowl had overflowed and
we were up to our ankles in the shit water. It all felt so surreal -- until
reality came crashing down as a piece of my turd hit my future mother-in-law in
her ankle. Thirty minutes of mopping and collecting was enough to clean the
bathroom. Someone turned the water off in the house, and eventually her bedroom
stopped raining shit.
I left the house as soon as possible -- like OJ and AC busting out of Brentwood.
I would not be there when the dad came home. Who knows if I'll ever be invited
back?
