    ... like the smell of our own brand (You know what I mean) :D

    I'm not trying to troll here, its actually a serious question. Is there a scientific explination for it?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 806 ✭✭✭Atrocity


    Probably the same reason that people pick their noses, etc.

    Probably something to do with territory or something. When ladies do it it's very unsettling.:(

    But I am... I never finished the story by saying that after you scratch your ass in your sleep, usually the next destination for your fingers is.. you guessed it, your mouth! So the pinworm eggs go into yer mouth, down through your digestive system and re-produce in your intestine again! Its just a big circle :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 806 ✭✭✭Atrocity


    but what can be done Cleary?
    [you don't mind me calling you Cleary?]

    DEFENTIONS OF Poop
    # GHOST Poop: The kind where you feel the Poop come out, but there is no Poop in the toilet.

    # CLEAN Poop: The kind where you Poop it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the paper.

    # WET Poop: The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it still feels un-wiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear so you don't ruin them with a stain.

    # SECOND WAVE Poop: This happens when you're done Pooping and you've pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize that you have to Poop some more.

    # POP-A-VEIN-IN-YOUR-FOREHEAD-Poop: The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.

    # LINCOLN LOG Poop: The kind of Poop that is so huge you're afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush.

    # GASSEY Poop: It's so noisy, everyone within earshot giggles.

    # DRINKER Poop: The kind of Poop you have the morning after a night of drinking. Its most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet.

    # CORN Poop: (Self-explanatory)

    # GEE-I-WISH-I-COULD-Poop-Poop: The kind where you want to Poop, but all you do is set on the toilet and fart a few times.

    # SPINAL TAP Poop: This is when it hurts so badly coming out you'd swear it was leaving you sideways.

    # WET CHEEKS Poop: (The Power Dump). The kind that comes out of your butt so fast, your butt cheeks get splashed with water.

    # LIQUID Poop: The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl.

    # MEXICAN Poop:It smells so badly that your nose burns.

    # UPPER CLASS Poop: The kind of Poop that has no odor.

    # THE SURPRISE Poop: You are not at the toilet because you think you are about to fart but...oops...a

    # Poop!!! THE DANGLING Poop: This Poop refuses to drop into the toilet even though you know you are done Pooping it. You just pray that a shake or two will cut it loose.

    :v:

    You can call me whatever you like!
    Maybe one solution would be to give yourself a good wipe before you go to sleep?
    Secondly, you could stick some tape to.. that area, so when they come out they'll stick to it! Then in the morning you can investigate whats going on up there!

    I don't mean to be different (I JUST WANNA FIT INNNN!!!!!) but i don't like the smell of my own brand


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Subconsciously it's probably a cleanliness thing. The thought of where it comes from and what it looks like. I'm not saying that I have ever liked the smell of my own, just that it's always been tolerable. But when someone else does it you know where it has come from, and what it's going to look like. The same can be applied to any other smells - urine, sweat, other bodily fluids, feet - you can easily tolerate them from your own body, but when it's other people's it can physically make you vomit, even though a third person would say that you're both equally gross.

    On a side note, why is it that if you have a lot of mucus in your nose/sinus you can "hock" it up/down (is that the right term?) and swallow it no problems. ie its coming out your sinus openings at the back of your throat and down your throat to your stomach. Whereas if you sneeze and this same mucus ends up in your mouth, there is no way in hell you will swallow it back down and want to get it out of your gob as quickly as possible. I mean its the same stuff and you had no problem swallowing it in the first scenario.
