Thinkin' About Shit...
The title of this post may be misleading--I'm not actually thinking about this and that--but rather just plain ole shit. Shit is a funny thing--it smells really bad, makes a big mess, can make even the strongest of stomachs weak--yet in the correct form can be used in a beneficial way.
Think about it...Cow manure is nothing more than just plain cow shit; yet when worked into a flower bed or garden it can help make beautiful things grow. Who would've ever thought something coming out of a cow's ass would come in so handy?! Hell, we even pay money for it--go figure...
Shit gets a really bum rap I think. The word itself is so fun to say, but its use is discouraged because it's naughty. When you ram your toe into a corner, what's the one thing (I mean the only thing) that makes you feel better right away--you got it--scream the word "SHIT!" It works way better than neosporin and a bandaid. It's medicinal value is priceless.
My philosophy on shit is as follows--if the smelly kind of shit can be used in a beneficial way, then why can't we take life's shit that is thrown at us and figure out how to make it work for us in a positive way? WAIT A MINUTE--I think this is called "learning a lesson"--shit, and I thought I was on to something here...

BWAHAHAHAA! Very funny and very, very true. Great post! Good how you tied everything together!
That shit is too funny! After reading the word shit so much, it started to sound and look weird. Love the post! :)
One of my favortie anecdotes used my my word-smith father is this. When having a bad day, or when wanting to express extreme displeasure at one's surroundings, he has been heard to say, "I feel like someone hit me upside my head with a crocheted bag of shit." Stop for one moment and imagine that. Imagine how well shit would stay in a crocheted bag. Feel free to use this phrase as often as possible. I call 'em 'Bobby-Burtisms'.
r.c.--I'd love to hear some more 'Bobby-Burtisms'--he sounds like a riot!!!!
