No need to brag.
And WHO is Thomas Crapper? Your plumber?? Or is that your little "pet" name for your toilet?
Either way, it's ironic and it makes me giggle.
Tammi, that's just yesterday's "HAVE TO GET DONE TODAY" list; it was very short.
Thomas Crapper, inventor of the toilet...no, seriously...quit laughing and look it up. ")
Okay, I've been misinformed. For years I believed he invented the toilet--turns out that was an exxageration on the part of some male (of course) who found the plumber's name funny. "Crap" does not come from Thomas Crapper, who was a plumber in the 1800's. He did, however, invent the ballcock...some part for the toilet. Yeah, I know. Here's a link for those of you interested or bored (Tammi).

Somewhat related to crap, the word SHIT is actually derived from the initials S.H.I.T. which were spray painted on boxes of manure.
It literally means, Ship High In Transit, because let's face it - if you put loads of cow manure on the bottom of a load of other very heavy stuff, and said stuff crushes the boxes of manure....well, you get the picture.
I've been holding on to that little tidbit for a loonnnnnggg time waiting for JUST the right moment to use it.
thanks.
while i find your comments back and forth about crap very interesting, I think, i think... its just about time for a new blog there amy. Thats just me...
