The Bayer Necessities: When nature calls
This week as I was comfortably browsing the pages of The CN, my toilet decided to flush on me without warning. Not only did this make my hind-quarters wet, but I hadn’t even finished what I was there to do. That is why I would like to take this opportunity, much as Spunk and White…
