Chamber Pot With Attribution

Posted 06.30.2008 by Spanky Allenby (10)
I like to go to the flea market near my house once in a while. A friend of mine named Don was in the retirement home business ("gerontology") and was retiring early as a financial officer. I wanted to shop around for a gag gift for a party that was being thrown for him. I needed something to do with the business itself, but also something that would get a laugh or two at the roast that was planned. I was one of the presenters, so I could make sure he opened the gag gift in front of everybody.

It took me an hour to find what I wanted: an antique chamber pot. This puppy was really old, the ceramic was cracked, the previous owner had written "Mama Tuckett" on the top in some kind of magic marker, and then some other numnutz had added (presumably years later, in a different-colored magic marker), "doesn't wipe." I can't imagine why anyone would worry about someone accidentally pooping into their own personal chamber pot and so feel compelled to write their name on it. And I had no doubt that Mama Tuckett had sliced her last loaf back in the sixties. But it would get a laugh.

My wife wrapped up the chamber pot after placing it into a Tiffany's box she'd gotten in New York. She added a roll of toilet paper she'd gotten from some party store that said, "Recycled from theater popcorn." All in all, Don was going to see a beautiful, silver-paper-wrapped package, peel it off, discover the Tiffany's box, and think he was getting a fine piece of crystal to place on the mantle.

The big night arrived and I'd prepared all sorts of jokes related to the gerontology industry. Gerontologists are like cops: we tell cynical jokes related to pooping and dementia as a means of relieving stress. Any critical care nurse will know what I'm talking about. After I got through a few of my jokes, I got the big package out in front of everybody (probably ninety people) and said to Don, "This is from everybody. Open it now."

At first, Don must have thought it was going to be a joke because when he started peeling the paper off, some muffstud in the front row cracked, "Good thing we drilled air holes in the box." That got a much bigger laugh than any of my roasts, which peeved the parcheesi out of me. But when the white Tiffany's box emerged (which Don held up for everyone to see) there were a few gasps, and oohs and ahhhs, and suddenly those miserable lechers were happy. Since I'd said it was is "from everybody," the cheap tightwads thought they were getting credit for getting Don something decent.

When Don opened the box up, his face looked like he'd just run over a pumpkin pie with a moped. He held up the chamber pot and the toilet paper, everybody had a laugh, and that was that. So we thought. But Don couldn't let enough be enough. He got up to the microphone and insisted on reading the inscription: "Mama Tuckett … doesn't wipe."

A woman in the back, whom I will call Wilma, suddenly called out, "What did you say?!?"

Don re-read the inscription and Wilma said, "Oh my GOSH! LET ME SEE THAT!"

Wilma weighed in at around four hundred pounds and wasn't to be messed with in general, so Don obediently handed over the pot to the now-stomping forward Wilma. Wilma swiped the pot of Don's hands, looked at the inscription, and said loudly to me, "How DARE you make fun of my Gramma!"

Now flabbergasted, I thought she was joking or possibly under the influence of something. "You've gone way over the edge this time. I'm gonna get your _______ fired!"

Something about her tone made me realize that Wilma was serious. I asked her what she meant.

"This belonged to my Gramma, and I don't think its funny one bit to make a joke out of it!"

Long story short, it turns out she'd donated the chamber pot from her dead grandmother's estate to Goodwill. How in the Beewillikers it made its way from the Goodwill to that flea market I have no idea, but Wilma refused to believe that it wasn't some kind of inside conspiracy to spite her publicly.

And the blame fell squarely on my shoulders, even though Wilma eventually understood that the whole thing was some kind of freakish mix-up. Even so, Wilma hates me to this day, and insists that our little chamber pot joke wasn't funny, and that her Grandmother did indeed wipe.

The chamber pots of my childhood (AKA
slop jars) were not porcelain but were always enameled metal. I mentioned in a comment on my story "Lav of My Life", that slop jars were used primarily as collectors of nighttime urine and were seldom shit in. After all, who wants to keep a container of stinky turds under their bed all night.

I have visited the home of Andrew Jackson (the Hermitage) several times and seen the chamber pot in the master bedroom. It was placed under a chair with a hole similar to an outhouse. The pot was in a drawer that slid in and out. I suppose shitting in one wasn't to bad in the days that servants or slaves did the emptying.

Oh yes...before I forget....the prez crapped in a small ceramic pot.

Fuck that fat whore. How the hell were any of you to know anybody there had a gramma named Tucket? She was the one who donated it to Goodwill. It's her fault. People like that, who try like hell to be offended, really bug the piss out of me.

pnuttycorn (216) -- 06.30.2008

I would have found it hilarious if it were me.
According to my Mom there was no pooping in the slop jar, you went to the outhouse at 2 AM to poop, but it didn't happen often.

Squat-n-leaveit (94) -- 06.30.2008

My grandma never wiped either. She was so pure, that she never pooped.

Thanks for relating this, Spanky. I love odd coincidences of this sort. Once, on impulse, I greeted a friend I’d known for ten years with “Hi, Bozo.” I watched this otherwise placid guy transform into a drooling maniac, hands poised to tear my head off. Built like a bear, he could have done it. I froze in place.

He demanded to know how I’d found out about “the Bozo thing,” a name, which it turns out, his brothers had taunted him with. It took me a long time to convince him that I had not been in contact with his brothers. But this, I think, troubled him even more. What else could he conclude but that his internal Bozo was visible to anyone who cared to look close enough. It’s been many years since I’ve seen him, but I can always come up with “Bozo” long before I can remember his real name. (And I’m fucking dead if he reads PoopReport.)

Why was Wilma's weight added to this story?
Was it a relevant factor?
If Wilma weighed 125 pounds, would her weight have been mentioned?
Why isn't Spanky's weight mentioned?
Why isn't Spanky's wife's weight mentioned?
Why isn't Don's weight mentioned?

Logjam (2406) -- 06.30.2008

Because, an angry 400 pounder is nothing to be toyed with (which also explains, doniker, why I don't like to fuck around with you ... or Bozo).

pnuttycorn (216) -- 06.30.2008

Because a fat psycho is funnier than a skinny one. STOMP STOMP Swipe chamber pot proceed to yell...
Hey I'm fat too.
Donkier.....are you sensitive?
*faint*

Doniker:

a 400 lb woman is a significant detail-and funny--doniker is in denial.

Logjam that was hysterical.

Squat-n-leaveit (94) -- 06.30.2008

Doinker is correct. Spanky is being insensitive. In an effort to be politically correct, the woman should have been referred to as "gravitationally challenged."

Bilgepump (1629) -- 06.30.2008

This is PoopReport...do you really think we give a flying fuck about being "politically correct"?

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

The unhappy family member "outed" Gram. No one else in the roon would have connected the dots.

So, she can blow it out her backside. Honest, did she think that a donation would result in destruction of the pot ?

If she did not want to have it come up again, then pitch it in to the trash not to the recycle bin !

MSG (562) -- 07.01.2008

Funny story; again, the long arm of coincidence reaches far. In medieval times chamber pots (thunder jugs, etc.) were used, then emptied out the front window into the street, sometimes with poo as well as pee. There are stories about people getting doused with the contents of a chamber pot.

Thunderbox (813) -- 07.01.2008

I remember seeing a couple of really fancy porcelain ones at ny granny`s house when I was a kid. I thought they were for washing in.

Wilma was pissed off for the sole reason that she knew that there was no way that she could ever use the family heirloom - because her big fat ass would crush the fucker.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 07.02.2008

spend as much time on top of excessively large women as doniker has and you'd be sensitive too.

daphne (3514) -- 07.02.2008

What a great story! It had me rolling. What ARE the chances?

I agree with Dungdaddy on this story, too. Chamber pot or not, antiques are antiques and family heirlooms are family heirlooms, even ones that have held poop. If you give something away, then it's not up to you what becomes of it, and you have no right to be offended if that article is used for humor.

I was at a family reunion of sorts when my grandfather died. We were at my great-aunt's house when my cousin dragged out the slop jar. She was gleeful to explain how she used to be able to form a seal around the slop jar using her rear end thus cranking out some nice artificial fart noises.

I asked her to demonstrate, but she declined while laughing heartily!

Spank,
you should have filled it with shit and let that fat bitch Wilma "have her cake and eat it too"

In the forums we have a discussion about awkward moments. This tops them all!

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