Ask Mr. Shit

I took a shit that looks like GW Bush (many do).
My question is do I flush it or do I have to save it? If I flush it
is it assasination?

No, it is an 'attempted' assassination. Shit never dies.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I wish all Mr. <insert name her> were
as responsive and helpful as you are Mr. Shit.
Now I got another question. Is Shit Art? Lots of art is shit. So is
the obverse true?

This is a truly intelligent question worthy of immediate response. I
love your question - "A lot of art is shit, so is the reverse true?" I
think it has to be true, because I (Mr. Shit), am a firm believer in the
philosophy of 'ying and yang', which I prefer to call 'eeko beeko', a more
Americanized version. The funny thing about shit is, that while all of it
is art, even the ugliest of shits can be a work of beauty. People walk
through art gallerys and gaze for hours at hanging works of 'art'. But they
may attend such a showing only once or twice a year. On the other hand,
most people shit nearly every day, yet they fail to appreciate the art that
sits within their toilet bowls. Some people even flush their turds away
without looking at them first (or so they claim)....... Art, like comedy,
is highly subjective. I look at it this way: If you take a shit and you
are proud of it, for any reason, then it is a true work of art - it is great
art. If you are not proud of it, it is still a work of art, except that
maybe it's not so great. And the art of shit is also more meaningful that
the type of art that hangs in museums, because once you flush it away it is
gone forever. On the other hand, if someone goes berserk in a museum and
uses an axe to shatter-blast into smithereens a great work of art, such as
the Mona Lisa, people can still view the original in the form of a print.
In fact, for all we know, the supposed original might even be a print.
Maybe these art snobs are viewing nothing but replicas and don't even know
it. Art can be viewed, just as shit can (and should) be viewed, every day.
But art cannot be smelled. You can't even touch a famous painting in a
museum, or a guard will be called and you will be escorted out of the
establishment. But, you can smell your shit, you can feel your shit, and
you can view it as well. You can even remove it from the toilet and mold it
with your hands the way an artist molds clay. You can sculpt your shit. In
fact, I am working on that project at this very moment, consulting with an
artist friend of mine to see if there is a market for selling shit
sculpture. Once again, thanks for your questions and your kindly words.
