I'm doing research for a book I am writing. How many times a day do you poop?

a) 4 to 6 times

b) 7 to 12 times

c) 13 to 47 times

d) greater than 47 times

Please answer honestly. I'm trying to make this book as realistic as possible.

Thank you.

Criticized me for taking my iPad in the bathroom to drop the kids (poop).
I said, in the old days, it was the newspaper!
He shut up.

It might be more informative to know how many times people flush rather than poop.

This could be an environmental issue. Just ask Trump. Of course, all he does is shit.

I have found it to be the best reading material for this effort.

If I'm a bit constipated, I'll call a random business in the Yellowbook and say "Guess what I'm doing"?

Loosens me right up.

Because he always used a kakalater!

You could title your book “Dook of Trump”.

I had to have surgery, so I am missing some of my colon, so to say I "process" fast is pretty accurate. Sort of I eat, I go, prior to the surgery if not having an IBSD issue once or twice per day.

as fertilizer, in North Korea. Each family has to collect a certain amount, in the article that amount was 2 tons a year, per family.
