Three A.M. and it’s me again…I was in the middle of a dream about ‘Shit River’ in Ologapo City, Philippines. (Freud would’ve loved me)
Then I woke up.
Woke up to a very un-dreamy-like smell of real shit. Real potent shit. Horrible smelling shit. Knock a buzzard off a shit wagon smelling shit.
I was living in an old two-story house in Commerce. Just outside my bedroom was the walk-in closet where I kept all the clothes I owned. I have never owned much in the way of clothes, by the way.
I heard something dripping like rain behind the door, but it wasn’t raining outside. I opened the door and sure as shit, shit was raining down from the ceiling. All over my clothes. Spattering on the floor. My Chow Mix doggie, Tizzy, was obviously responsible. I went around the corner, and there he was in that dog-taking-a-shit posture at the top of the stairway: Obviously with a really bad case of the doggie drizzling shits.
Took me until seven a.m. to clean up the shit and wash all my clothes.
I called in sick to work telling my boss, “I feel like shit.”
Bonus:
I have often used the term ‘Shit Storm’. After that experience, I felt some ownership and challenged anyone using it to tell me if they, in fact, had ever experienced one in Real Life (Tongue-in-Cheek). Thank you very much for commenting. It means a lot to have feedback.
This is both funny and sad. More funny though, especially since I just read about it.
