Throwing Poo

Like most red-blooded Americans, I spent the holiday weekend bouncing around to the homes of various family members and friends to eat hot dogs, drinking domestic light beer and bullshit. 
 
However, at one point during the weekend, I unwittingly walked into awkward and repellent situation that had mortification written all over it.  Entering a friend's bathroom, I found myself face-to-face with what appeared to the aftermath of an explosion at a manure factory. 
 
Fortunately, I am a huge fan of David Sedaris.  Having read and re-read every book he has written, my purpose has always been entertainment, never self-help.  Just the same, my familiarity with this particular essay helped me to quickly navigate this minefield with confidence.     
 
Knowing that I could never capture this experience with the same sharp wit, insight or brevity, I will gladly defer to Sedaris.  As you enter this season of gatherings and questionably cooked meat, I offer his essay to you as a Rolaid of prevention.
