• Delhi Belly and Running Poop Joke

  So the question I am sure is on everyone’s mind, is did Dr J eat the street food?

  After all, this trip is referred to as The Temples of Doom, right? surely there must be more temples, or at least a modicum of doom?

  Well fear not, all those questions will be answered ere my travel posts are done.

  We made one brief pit stop in Delhi before setting off on the 5 hour drive to Jaipur. And appropriately enough, it was a bathroom break. Or more specifically, the International Museum of Toilets

  

  After grabbing some reading material and informational brochures, we took a look around

  

  Toilets of every style and region abounded, a veritable shitload of crappers. And yes, in case you were wondering, this museum was specifically on my itinerary prior to leaving the U.S.

  

  In fact, even the museum staff was surprised at our groups level of enthusiasm, seeing as how the museum, which is normally closed on Mondays, was opened up EXCLUSIVELY for us. Yes, wandering americans came to view what exactly puts up with Indians shit.

  

  Did you know there is a code of toilet etiquette that changes whether you are married, single, celibate, or a saint? well now you do! Although this sign gives no clue what that etiquette is, it does note that more holy people must follow it more strictly

  

   Ward learned about this while browsing the sunday funnies, and test driving and earlier modern model

  

  I explored an outent until I was rudely surprised

  

  Miss Crystal and I then tested the durability of the f1 mach toilet, to see how well it could hold up to Delhi Belly levels of force. As it turns out, this turned out to be a prophetic test…but I will mention that more later in the trip. Or not, you can probably figure it out.

  

  Short Round took advantage of the opportunity to let his inner bully roam free, and unwittingly turned himself into the perfect internet meme…this photo will be on reddit and 4chan, please go caption it with your best, or leave a caption here! lets turn short round into a full fledged interwebs celebrity!

  

  Ward suggested we all relieve ourselves before setting out, so we each found our favorite model and cut loose

  

  Howdy!

  

  While visiting Red Fort, we happened to pass by a merchant who was shouting “BEARD FOR SALE!”. Convinced we initially misheard someone perhaps selling beads or beer, we ignored it until on our way out we encountered the same hawker with a fistful of facial hair. Well, when life hands you cheap full beards, you buy them and dont look back! We figured the effort of straining over these squatty pottys would only help the beards look more natural and give us the flimsy excuse we were looking for to use them in photos. And yes, I am wearing a beard over my actual beard, thus making me twice as manly

  But enough of this toilet humor…we have a new city to explore!

  Next Post, anyway.
