One of my life's goals has been met. As sad as that is.

My comment was similar to flumptytail's. I had searched quickly for a suitable you tube video in regards to doodie but could not find one. It did however, start me down a slippery slope into an abyss of adolescent toilet humor. This area of you tube was unknown to me (HONEST!!) and because I was laughing out loud like a ten year old, I was faced with a dilemma. DO I share this treasure with my fellow GUSsacks or keep this my deep dark secret.
You might wonder how anyone could possibly link this theme to quitting smoking cigarettes and stopping nicotine addiction. My answer is that if this stuff was funny when we were ten years old and that when we were ten years old we didn't need cigarettes, perhaps and just maybe if we acted like ten year olds more often, we would not crave cigarettes as much. If you can buy that load of logic, you might get a few laughs out of the videos I picked out tonight.
If you want to stay all maturey and adultey, maybe you should just skip the videos and go straight to the comment section.
Believe it or not, I re-edited this and removed some videos that were in poor taste.
Hippos were big in this genre for some reason.
The exstinkion of the dinosaurs explained.
This is the funniest episode of Myth Busters I have ever seen but someone with better judgement than myself decided not to air it so it has only been seen on you tube. This one doubled me up. I will hold on to my myth but will modify it to believe that really pretty girls don't fart.
No breaking wind on this last one. I just liked the hippo. The full length version was embed denied. Use your imagination to finish the song.
