How many licks does it take?

How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

You need to be more specific. For instance, what is the percentage of solid as opposed to liquid droppings in the bowl? Also, do you flush the toilet every single time you take a leak? Are you primarily using this tankto rid yourself of beer consumption? As you can see, there are many varibles to consider here, and I'm not just talking shit either. I know my business, especially when I'm DOING my business.

Based on my average day I would say maybe ten flushes. But what happens when the weekend comes along? Well, I might be having a dock party and uninvited guests show up. Being the generous soul I am, I would give the invite. Now we all know that one should use the head at the marina in these circumstances. Really, I'm half in the bag, new arrivals can see that. Next thing ya know, while raiding the fridge for whatever alchohol they can get their hands on an 'urge' comes over them. Looking around, seeing no-one, I get an un-accounted for flush. Do they check the flush log??? NOOOOO Well, you know the rest of the story. Of course the flush that covers the deck is the one I can't help but make the next morning to rid myself of the previous days bounty while wondering who the hell hit me in the head with a baseball bat while I was sleeping.

So, in answer to your question, you have 27 flushes. I hope this helps you CD. Remember, it's a matter of supply and demand, the more you demand, the less we supply...

Labatt,

You are trying to stir up trouble!!! (SMILE) I guess I was being too much of a smart ass? I think I ticked him off. A week and half without sleep and stressed out beyond capacity keeps me from thinking before I write. Oops.

Ooops, I meant tootsie pop. You've never had a tootsie roll? Oh man, you're missing out. Its just the tootsie pop, without the pop, only the center in a roll shape. Mmmmmm.
