Coming to you now LIVE... it's Bernie's Sacred Wednesday Potcast!

So here's the thing about quitting smoking. You don't want to, so you have to force yourself to quit. And then you get really pissed that you're being forced into doing something you don't want to do.

Here's a thing you may not know. The Waldorf hotels conglomerate did a visitor satisfaction study on male visitors from 25 to 70. To their surprise, their numbers showed that dissatisfaction correlated quite precisely with whether or not the visitor, while staying with the hotel, was constipated.

So their PR team huddled and and got to eureka.

To inspire and smooth those minutes spent on the hotel bathroom toilet, they pumped in tuba music.

I did it, you can.

They would probably be confused upon arriving in Eureka.

If so, my conclusion would be that they were themselves constipated.

I thought you were referring to the vacuum cleaner company. Feel sorry for the employee who has to change those vacuum bags.

Hey, it works or it doesn't.

Quote blatham:

The tuba is the lowest frequency brass instrument. There has been some research, not yet conclusive, that very low frequency sound can cause defecation in animals. The so-called "brown note".

The hotel was just trying to be helpful.
