You ate the same thing we all ate?

Rest in peace. That goes out to a moth that was in my bathroom today. Now the cause of death may have been malnutrition. It may have been exhaustion. It easily could have had appendicitis.

But I know all too well the look it had on it's face before it dropped from the top of the window sill. As it looked out through the clear pane of glass, the sweet taste of freedom was like an oasis mirage of freedom. Escape, I'm sorry. There is none. Like a maple seed in the fall, it helicopter spun it's way to it's demise.




Time of Death: 7:05 AM

I'm a murderer. I killed it. My morning routine of waking up and taking a duce duce took it's life. I know it. I've been told the odors i create are truly toxic. Why? And Why indeed? My sister in law said it perfectly and it put it into perspective for me.

We were on a trip and the food we were all served was the same. It was catered and basically we all ate the same food. But later that night, I think I made her nose bleed after she tried to use the bathroom I had just occupied. She said, and I'll never forget her astonished face and honest passion with every syllable that left her lips, "What the hell? You eat the same thing we all ate. Why does your shit smell so much worse than ours?"

I don't know. I have to chalk it up to my torso. My torso is long, round, and the food goes a much longer way than maybe the channels of a much skinnier person. I've invested much in my physique. But I compare it to visiting the neighbors.

If you go to visit your neighbors, and they are one block away. You walk over there and you may smell just as fresh as if you just got out the shower. All zestfully clean still. (Did you just picture the zest fully clean commercial where they open the towel all happy smiling and stuff, but naked? I always wondered, were they really naked? Damn towel...anyways.) So you didn't go far. You're not smelly. Well, if you're the food I ate, you basically walked from your home to the next town to visit the neighbors. on your travels, it may have rained, been really hot and humid, then a dust storm came out of nowhere. Don't smell so fresh anymore do ya?



That's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

Maybe it was that dude that you blew last night? I dunno, I am just tossing it out there.
