When Tim Phelan Says, “My Life Is Crap,” He Literally Means it
September 22nd, 2006
Filed under: Strange Humans
Since 1988, Tim Phelan has made every little decision in his life based on the presence or proximity of a rest room. His days has been governed by answers to important questions like:
- How many steps must I take before I reach that rest room?
- Is there toilet paper?
- Single ply or better?
- Would I make it?
- If I crap on my seat right now, would they take it personally?
- Why is shit brown?
Jaw-dropping adventures in irritable bowel syndrome-land. All told in his new presumably fragrantly sumptious book, Romance, Riches, and Restrooms: A Cautionary Tale of Ambitious Dreams and Irritable Bowels. Go grab a stinking copy; we gather it quenches your thirst for “moral” lessons.

And no, that is NOT me pictured on the toilet, either. [...]
