For those that give a sh*t ...

You might save someone's life.
Perhaps the strangest story I have read all year. Nope, not the Onion News.

'Fecal Transplants'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/13/cdiff-superbug_n_796156.html

_________

Just passing it on, for those who give a sh*t (or need a sh*t)

2. pretty much

in the day of almighty pharmaceutical companies, we find ourselves using fecal transplants... definitely a statement about where our medical system finds itself in today's world of over-sold prescriptions, drugs and treatments

3. Almost can't believe I read that article
What I want to know is how much it costs for a 'fecal transplant' vs good dietary advice.

5. my guess is they can find donations by searching 'free' on Craigslist

people are always advertising free sh*t on Craigslist

along with your suggested 'Don't Touch My Sh*t' merchandise

11. we'll need your bran records in order to give you top dollar

Actually, this sounds like the perfect follow-up commercial for Glenn Beck... instead of 'Buy Gold' he could be all over FoxNews saying:

'Buy Sh*t... you already bought my sh*t, now go get some of your own!'

9. We should start a Draft Sarah Palin movement.
Not for president, but for shi!t donation purposes. She's so full of shit, it would be a waste if she didn't donate some of it for a good cause.
