Found this again on Facebook and had to share it here at Litsy. I can't stop laughing.

MidnightBookGirl The thunderous splashing? Obviously this was written before Updike had never experience any prostate issues, lol. 7y
IamIamIam @MidnightBookGirl ?? Now all I can think of is Roger Rabbit! "Not prostate, you idiot! Probate!" 7y
Laura317 Eeewww! But still funny. 7y

riversong153 Just....why?? Lol, that is such a stupid way to think. And he had the nerve to write it down. Weird, lol. 🤣 7y
riversong153 Also lmao at "stood lordly at the bowl" because that's not weird at all. I would think using the toilet is what bonds us all. Takes us down a few pegs to remind us we're not lordly lol 7y
maximoffs 😂😂 I like that apparently our insides are a maze @riversong153 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🤣😂🤣😂 7y
FictionFox WTF is this?? I'm crying lol "lordly" oh my god. 7y
FictionFox The worst part is this went through editors. People read this and were like "sounds legit, let's keep it" like what????? 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes Fuuuuuck is that actually John Updike though? Wouldn't surprise me... 7y
InLibrisVeritas 😂😂 7y
kylienoele Gosh I just love having a maze like body structure 7y
BookFreakOut I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure men's intestines are just as folded and mazelike as women's. (edited) 7y
sprainedbrain Omg. 😂 7y
maximoffs @FictionFox RIGHT? "Sounds like a woman's body" @Natasha.C.Barnes it is indeed. @kylienoele it's so hard to pee with a maze inside me @BookFreakOut we also have a shorter urethra than men but what is science. 7y
ephemeralwaltz What the hell 7y
kylienoele I wish I could stand lordly above the toilet like a man :/ 7y
emmanoble 😂😂😂 7y
Andrea4 I'm pretty sure I sit like a motherf*cking royal *ss Queen on my porcelain throne!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 7y

"Smaller than a breadbox, bigger than a TV remote, the average book fits into the human hand with a seductive nestling, a kiss of texture, whether of cover cloth, glazed jacket, or flexible paperwork." John Updike

I'm trying to read more short stories, and word is that Updike is a master of the craft.
