Pinch one off, drop the kids off at the pool, however you refer to the ritual, relaxing the sphincter of the anus is key. The Crack Team (pun intended) of researchers at JohnStallWisdom.com has just concluded the study titled " METHODS TO PROMOTE THE RELAXATION OF THE INTERNAL SPHINCTER OF THE ANUS" The top method discovered was reading Graffiti while "chopping the log" or as many refer to it, "taking a dump". In the course of its research the JSW team fond a disturbing trend sweeping the country. It appears that significant funds have been diverted from the Obama Stimulus Plan for painting over John Stalls. It has forced many public toilet users to re-read "Made in China-Waist 34-100% Man Made Material from the insides of their belts. "Proper relaxation of the sphincter can best be achieved through the reading of fresh content" the report goes on to explain. Martin Lewis, Media Director at John Stall Wisdom advises 'anyone who wishes to have fresh Graffiti at their disposal while dumping to carry their laptops,smart phones, netbooks into the Stall and log into the all new website:
http://www.johnstallwisdom.com
The following was excerpted from an article found in the course of the study on afraidtoask.com:
The small and large intestines are muscular tubes. Normally, these tubes contract in different ways to both mix the digesting material and to slowly force the contents down the gut towards the anus. About four times a day, a mass movement forces the stool through the colon and towards the rectum. When you eat a meal, food traveling through your upper gut causes muscle to contract throughout your gut, and stool from your colon is pushed into the rectum. This is called the GASTROCOLIC reflex. This is why your morning coffee can trigger you to need to move your bowels. This is also why babies poop after they eat. The reason why you don't poop after every meal is because you have learned to control when and where you pass stool as you were growing up.
Defecation, or the act of passing stool, is partially voluntary and partially involuntary. In other words, you can control some parts of it, but not others!
When stool enters the rectum, the rectum expands. This causes a nerve reflex, which relaxes the internal sphincter of the ANUS, and gives you the urge to move your bowels. At this point you tighten your external sphincters until you can find a toilet or other appropriate place to evacuate your bowels. When you are ready to make a BM, you take the position (sitting or crouching) and consciously relax your external sphincters. The muscles of your pelvic floor (levator ani - L) will also relax, thus allowing the stool in your rectum to pass through to your anus. Muscular contractions and gravity help push the stool through your anus, and out.
How often should I be moving my bowels?
There are no set rules as to how often is normal. Though the majority of people move their bowels once a day, this varies considerably depending on your diet, activity, illness, and many other factors. Once a day is a general rule-of-thumb, although some "normal" people may have a bowel movement only once in 2 or even 3 days. Sometimes people can have more than one BM a day.
What does a normal bowel movement look like?
A normal bowel movement should be some shade of brown, should be soft but still formed, and should be roughly the size and shape of sausage links, although this can vary with the softness of the stool. Your stool takes the shape of your colon. Foods and vitamins you eat can affect how your stool looks and smells, but so can diseases discussed in the following section. Normal bowel movements DO NOT contain blood, and are not black or tarry.Pinch one off, drop the kids off at the pool, however you refer to the ritual,... more

Bog House Miscellany is a large collection of 18th Century
toilet-wall graffiti from the coffee- and ale-houses of
London. Funny, raunchy, and often clever:
"If Kisses were the only Joys in Bed,
Then Women would with one another wed."
At the same Place-
"Let Jove his Juno, and his Nectar boast,
Champain's my Liquor, and Miss K---g my Toast."
Rumford on a Window-
"When full of Pence, I was expensive,
And now I've none, I'm always pensive."
Underwritten-
"Then be at no Expence And you'll have no Suspence."
"If Smell of T---d makes Wit to flow,
Laud 1 what would eating of it do."
From the Temple Bog-House-
"If you design to sh--te at Ease,
Pray rest your Hands upon your Knees.
And only give a gentle squeeze."

I'd have to guess that being a famous individual would be hard at times, but when it comes to acting like a child, there are a few famous people that really take the cake and deserve everything they get from the media, and the public. We have all seen how the average person can show their "true colors" in public, and have undoubtedly witnessed some of their "lunatic ramblings" on the public stall walls throughout America, and for some of us, the stalls throughout the world. This thought comes to mind (in which by no stretch of the imagination could possibly behoove my intellect), do famous people act the same way? Let's take for example the recent actions of Randy Moss, a famous individual that for many years in the sporting world has shown us that famous people can act just as moronic as the "average Joe." With his recent expulsion from the Minnesota Vikings; partially due to his latest behavior during a recent lunch-in for the players in the locker room following a Vikings practice, during which, Moss had reportedly made some nasty comments to the servers and the owner of a small family owned catering business (who were asked to provide the service by another Vikings player). You would hope that Moss has learned by now. "I wouldn't even feed this garbage to my dogs" was among many of the reported comments made by Moss to the catering staff. In lieu of these recent allegations, Moss being Moss, made no effort during the following press conference to apologize to those individuals, or any of the other individuals who may of have had the misfortune of crossing paths with him in the past. With all of this said, I can only guess what adornment Moss has recently bestowed upon his stall wall...
I should have tried the ribs!
R.Moss
I wonder what other famous people write on their stall walls?

Toilet walls have proved an unlikely source of art and literature. When Katrin Fischer was looking for a topic for her masters’ thesis, she had a eureka moment – during a visit to the public conveniences. The linguistics student decided to write about graffiti in women's toilets.
Katrin Fischer came up with the idea to turn her fascination for graffiti in public toilets into a rather unusual masters' thesis and spent the next eight months analyzing the communication processes at work on the walls of the ladies' toilets in the main building at the University of Bonn. Katrin Fischer examined scribblings on the walls of female toilets for her thesis.
The 31-year-old linguistics student from Bonn sees public toilets as more than just a facility to be used when needs must. She also sees them as a kind of forum in which women can discuss topics such as religion, love,
relationships and fellow students.
"My boyfriend beats me. What shall I do?" Responses to this question vary
from "Hit him back" to "Don't provoke him then."
One of Fischer's graffiti samples, a message about veganism, attracted 60
responses, and she found that some discussions even cover the whole of a
wall in a toilet cubicle. But lavatories are a forum with a difference: there are
no rules, meaning that nothing is off limits – in fact, the only censure is that exercised by other users.
There is also no way of tracing the author, unlike in internet forums, where supposedly anonymous authors can actually be identified from their IP address if necessary.
"The absolute anonymity encourages women to write down whatever comes into their mind," said Fischer.
Some users even adopt a male identity and simulate lonely hearts ads replete with contact details.
"Gender and identity can be swapped in the absolute anonymity," said Fischer. "Women uninhibitedly show up male students by acting as male authors, writing messages such as 'Looking for…' and advertising sex, even giving out mobile telephone numbers. The men concerned never see the graffiti and cannot defend themselves."
Graffiti reveals artists' traits
In her 165-page long analysis of 'latrine literature,' Fischer analyzes 122 samples of graffiti, investigating what they say about topics such as gender, identity, space and power. She comes to the conclusion that there are two distinct types of female graffitists: one is very polite, objective and allows others the freedom to have their own opinions, whilst the other type is affective, vulgar and dominant.
Graffiti can reveal a lot about the artist. The latter type express their dominance by such means as taking up a large amount of space and depriving others of it; circling their own messages to give them prominence; and crossing out or correcting the contributions of others, thereby empowering themselves by exercising censure. Where one user had originally written "Suicidal join the army," for example, another user crossed out "suicidal" and wrote "Jesus gives new life to all," enclosing this new message in a heart-shaped bubble.
A unique study
The study of the graffiti scrawled on walls in public toilets has, until now, largely been the domain of collectors, psychologists, sexologists and educationalists, making Fischer's thesis, which focuses on graffiti as both communication and vandalism, the first of its kind. As a result, Fischer's supervisor, Dr. Gisela Fehrmann, immediately agreed to her rather unique topic proposal.
"My professor was really enthusiastic about my idea," said Fischer. "And she asked me for a concept straight away. As everybody is familiar with the phenomenon, she thought it was a good thing to research and found the idea very funny. Just like my fellow students!"
But whilst Fischer's thesis is undoubtedly original, the practice of graffiti in lavatories is by no means a new phenomenon.
"Even the Romans used to do it," said Fischer. "And they were particularly crude: they used to describe their lovers right down to the last detail."
The letter of the law
Although Fischer is fascinated by graffiti, she also recognizes that it is illegal because whilst interesting and entertaining, it ultimately remains damage to property.
But she couldn't help feeling a little sad when university directors decided to paint over the graffiti last summer (thankfully she had already photographed her samples).
This decision also resulted in disappointment among users of the conveniences: one asked: "Where has all the graffiti gone?" Another pleaded "please write something, it is so boring here." The exhibition of washroom graffiti has attracted lots of interest. Recently, after news of the topic of Fischer's thesis had made the rounds in the university, a new graffito appeared, in which the author said that she also wanted to be included in a master's thesis!
Despite working on the subject for eight months, Fischer's interest in the subject is far from exhausted.
"I can't completely stop photographing sayings, but I no longer start to categorize them."
The results of Katrin Fischer's findings are on display at the University of Bonn's Institute of Communication Science until October 20, 2009.

Hell, we don't have a clue... we just collect the stuff, put it on display along with tons of other fun stuff and invite you to visit. The graffiti collection at JSW is among the best on the web. JohnStallWisdom.com, Purveyor of Toilet Graffiti and Bathroom Humor Entertainment and occasionally some really useful stuff announced today the launch of the Graffiti photo section of it's now famous website. . JSW would like to remind the public that membership to the site is free and all members are encouraged to contribute to the collection.
Martin Lewis, Media Director for John Stall Wisdom has stated that the Origin of Social Networking was likely a tree that was used for cover when man relieved himself and he carved messages for others to decipher all while he was taking care of business. Fast forward a few centuries and “stalls” were built around the "john" (first flush toilet was invented by Sir John Harrington, thus the name) giving mankind a much more conducive substrate to communicate socially. TOILET GRAFFITI will remain as the most enduring form of social networking as long as man uses a common place to relieve himself. MySpace was once "the place to socialize" and express your art, individualism, and your personal reflections and make them known to total strangers as well as your co-workers and fellow students. Facebook is now the current popular forum to express your thoughts, pleasures and opinions. We will be writing on the John Stalls long after Facebook evolves into obscurity. Others will come and go as mankind goes forward but TOILET GRAFFITI will stand the test of time just as it has for the millenniums that have passed.Toilet Graffiti - Huge Collection of Toilet Graffiti at John Stall Wisdom...

This article is about a Brazilian graffiti artist called Zezao who produces his work on the walls of sewers below the streets of Sao Paulo.
He has vaccinations to allow him to work and has to be careful of flash floods. This hardship is endured so Zezao can highlight the neglect that has led to such pollution in the city.
Its a great story on many levels. It highlights the proliferation of street/graffiti art around the world - Sao Paulo is now one of the best places to see great graffiti in the world. Its also fascinating to see a guy so committed to his message that he'll work in filthy sewers to make a point. This is especially poignant when Banksy is selling his work for hundreds of thousands at auctions around the world.
At a time when graffiti art is going mainstream and making millionaire's of the one-time "guerilla artists", Zezao is risking his health to educate humanity.This article is about a Brazilian graffiti artist called Zezao who produces his work... more
