Oooo, Poop!
OK, I'll admit it--I'm not a fan of Oprah Winfrey. Yes, she got her start in Nashville, yes, she's an attractive woman, and yes, she does run a mega-successful corporation. I've just never really watched her.
But today, Oprah went to a level I never thought she would: poop.
I flipped through the channels and I had to stop. Oprah's topic today was on healthy poop.
I've not laughed so hard (nor learned so much about colon health) than I have today.
I kept trying to visualize the topic on any other talk show and, well, I couldn't.
Dr. Phil wouldn't talk about poop.
Ellen DeGeneres wouldn't talk about poop.
Tony Danza wouldn't talk about poop.
Sally Jesse Raphael wouldn't talk about poop.
Rosie O'Donnell might talk about poop, but I don't think she ever did.
Leave it to Oprah to touch the untouchable (which, by the way, she handled a real colon on TV today!).
I have all sorts of poop jokes going through my head (elementary teachers usually do!), and I even own several books about poop (always a popular topic in a preschool classroom!). But good ol' Oprah made a show about it.
I'm restraining myself from all the poop-isms I could've worked into this entry. I never know who's reading this...
*Update! Update! Update!* Per Christopher's request for further information, I will leave you with this: 'S'-shaped or banana shape=good; pebbles=bad. And just for the Complimenting Commentor: The show was just a load of crap! Seriously, it stank. Bad. My main thought was "Oh, &*@#. Oprah's on!" :)

Oh, one or two jokes wouldn't hurt anyone. Great post. Oprah always could get away with any show imaginable.

So you aren't going to share any of Oprah's wisdom on poop? Please? You know I wouldn't be caught dead watching that show.

I disagree, I think Ellen would talk about poop

Isn't this just a little too much information?

My mother's uncle was obsessed with healthy poop in his days. I remember the horror of ending up next to him on family reunions and being forced to talk about the condition of his poop for hours. Sometimes he even called us when he had pooped to tell us the happy news. Considering this, you surely see that it's a miracle that I'm as sane as I am

I think maybe I shouldn't say anything at this point
