    Most of the people in the neighborhood think the first “tip” is the best (I think because Diarrhea is a funny word), but I’m a big fan of the parenthetical comment in the final tip.

    Sounds to me as though central Californians either have a serious poop problem or a serious poop obsession. Or both.

    I’ve never been called a central Californian before. Most people out in Sacramento refer to me, with disgust, as a “Bay Area transplant.”

    Also, Sheila, couldn’t the same thing be said about clusterflock?

    We Illinoisans are kind of vague on our California geography.

    “Bay Area transplant” does sound kind of nasty, like something out of a David Cronenberg film.

    I cannot speak for other clusterflock participants, but as for myself, I can either take or leave poop.

    I’ve no idea what I meant by that assertion.

    But I can state that only when posting on clusterfock do I use the word ‘poop’. In my other life I just say ’shit’.

    Oh shit.

    I generally leave poop. It’s a real bad day if I’m taking it with me.

    …and, I wouldn’t be allowed in the fountain.

    I’ve just realized that poop is “dirtier” than shit. . I think that’s why we say poop on clusterflock.

    You’ve convinced me Rick, I’m going to start using the word “poop” instead of “shit” in ‘my other life.’

    I was talking to a friend who is involved with the City Council and he said that they might take this sign down. Apparently, the poop problem might not be as big as originally suspected.
