THE MOST GRATIFYING DUMP EVER
Suzy Shuster asks the best question of the year to Sooper Genious coach Bill Callahan, who gets points here for getting through the interview without bellly-flopping to the turf and rolling on the ground with laughter. Bill, though, did take “one of the most gratifying dumps” he’s had in front of thousands, so perhaps he should lose points, too. For the record, ours was in the Peace Hotel, Shanghai, October of 1999, following a breakfast of dim sum and wicked strong coffee. It had it all: a great setting, ample reading material, a sense of substantial tension broken with the mild endorphin rush following, a tidy launch capped with flawless departure from the launchpad. Click here for further opinions on the world’s finest–and most unacceptable–places to take a grumpy.
Watch for Callahan’s expression at the final frame, where he just realizes what he just answered.

The worst places to take a dump:
1. An outhouse at Veterans Stadium during the Falcons-Eagles playoff game in 2002. It was around zero degrees. You’re wearing about six layers of longjohns if you’re smart. Do the math. I was at that game, and even taking a piss was a Herculean task. Of course, I was all hopped up on goofballs (read: Cap’n Mo).
2. UVA’s Foxfield Races. All you got are public troughs and people with cameras.

The 50-yard line of Kenan Stadium, back when you could break into it really easily.
I also won a bet going 100 hours without taking a dump. This was before I started drinking coffee — otherwise I never would have made it past the first morning.

legion field circa 1980, trust me on this one, only experience at electrical workers convention after morning coffe compares, legitimate outhouse experiences pale, more flies less “texture”
