"take a dump"

ponder this:

in our society it's common slang (for some of us that're a bit less of the "mr. manners" type at least) to say that we have to go "take a shit" or "take a piss". but if you really think about what you're saying, isn't that disgusting? i mean, nobody TAKES a shit unless they're just all kinds of psycho! i read a book called "the honeywell" recently (i forget the authors name) and one of the main characters had dropped her wedding ring in the toilet AFTER she had dropped a deuce in it. she was sufficiently freaked out but even then, she still didn't "take a shit" in order to remove the ring. my dad was actually the one who made me think of this a long time ago. he would always say "i have to go LEAVE a shit" or "leave a piss". obviously, using the word "leave" stuck with me. you'll never hear me saying i have to "take a shit"....that's just......wrong. gross. think about it readers. think about it.
