Tue, February 26, 2013 2:16 AM

1. Make sure you have a wirless headset while playing xbox so you can let your friends know that the reason your not moving is because your on the toilet. 

2. Make sure you find a women who doesnt mind when your done having sex you either want to go to bed or you spend 10min in the bathroom since youve been holding it. 

3. Diapers are not embarrassing they are the best thing for trips to places you've never been. 

4. Speedway and UDF have 1 person stalls so if yours is locked use the womens, they may look at you funny but now its there problem to deal with. 

5. Having fatigue issues is the best way to get out of doing chores around the house. 

All these have happend to me and I hope one made you laugh.
