Today's random fact

Why does running water make you have to go to the bathroom?

It's completely psychological. The sound of peeing is very similar to the sound of water filling a sink. You've been conditioned since you were potty trained (hopefully) to associate this sound with urination. Therefore, much like Pavlov's dog drooling in response to a stimulus, you have a conditional reflex to want to go #1 when you hear running water.

If this is true whoopi cushions should be outlawed.

I had a girlfriend who had to have the water running when she went number one.

I have to clench my fists and scream wildly whenever I take a dump.

Oh it's not the screaming that gets to them, usually. It's the blood.
