Funny ways to say you gotta poop
"That fart is pulling a trailer"
"I got an 8 inch grip on a 9 inch turd"
"I think I'm running out of farts"
While sitting on the toilet, just yell out, "I'm crowning"
"Unburdening myself from what has been"
"I am dilated to a 10"
"Dammit, lunch is pushing out breakfast"
"Gonna make some stink pickles"
"Hey, @Diane94338153 I am gonna go cook up some stenchiladas"
"I'm bingo stamping my shorts, bro"
"Download a brownload"
"I am uneating"
"I have a task I cannot delegate'
"My fart fell out"
"My food lease is up"
"I am currently negotiating the release of a chocolate hostage"
"My next fart has a companion"
"I have to go sit down somewhere else"
Romantic Warrior is coming to Australia. ❤️
Owner Peter Lau has entrusted the retired champion to James McDonald and his family.
“The girls have become quite fond of him, and we can now see him every day.”

🚨WOW!!!
A Bronx pizzeria owner saw a woman eating out of his GARBAGE.
He walked outside, took her by the hand, led her in, and pulled a hot slice straight from the oven for her.
She sat down and cried. He said: "Don't cry. Eat. I don't want you eating out of a garbage." ❤️
His name is Daniel Romano.
He owns D'Romano's Pizza in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx.
He didn't shoo her away.
"I grabbed her by the hand and I led her to the pizzeria and I went in the oven and I got her a fresh slice and gave it to her. Sat down and she started crying. I said, 'don't cry, eat. This is not a problem.'"
In that moment, he decided he'd never let it happen to anyone again.
So he grabbed a marker, wrote a sign by hand, and taped it in his window for the whole neighborhood to see:
"To the people eating out of my garbage, I have more love for you than you think. Please come in and tell me you're hungry. I will forever give you a slice and fresh water to drink."
When they asked him why, his answer was simple.
"Right now, I think this world is shot. There's too much hate. Too much negativity. Why not put a smile on someone's face?"
And it turns out this runs deep for Daniel.
It goes all the way back to his mother, Carmella.
"She had a saying in Italian. She used to say, 'a desperate person will always make a better decision on a full stomach than on an empty.'
"It always stuck with me. So I feed people."
A desperate person makes a better decision on a full stomach.
That handwritten sign has traveled way past the Bronx now.
Daniel says people are calling him from Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii, even Alaska, all wanting to chip in and buy slices for hungry strangers they'll NEVER MEET.
"Don't ask me, I didn't even know Alaska had a phone."
It all started with one slice.
One woman.
One man who did something kind.
GOD BLESS Daniel Romano. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
