Not to mention, the atmosphere makes it a "cosy" (for lack of a better word) anecdote, rather than some 'Alan-Carr-vibed"-gossip. So, you just associate the celebrity with 'funny anecdotes' rather than the actual anecdotal subject, like poop in this case. Had he told this story on Alan Carr, listening to that story would have been unpleasant.

Regarding Lee's story, I knew what was coming. A few years ago, I ate an entire bag of sugarless lemon drops (not knowing they could act as a laxative). I took my two dogs out for a walk that night. Let's just say I had to walk back home in shame (and my poor dogs never got to finish their walk).

I used to work at a drugstore, and one year, we had loads of Christmas candy left over that had to be disposed of. Our boss let us take it home, so I had like 20 boxes of chocolates. Most of them were normal, but about five of them were sugar free ones. My family and I gradually worked our way through the chocolates over the next few weeks, until the only ones left were the sugar free ones. I was just going to throw them away, but I decided to try one of the caramel ones out of curiosity. It was really nice, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference, so I ate a few more, probably about four or five in total. By sheer luck, it was quite late in the afternoon, and I decided not to eat any more so as not to spoil my dinner. The funny thing was, I didn't get all that much in the way of diarrhea, it just gave me REALLY bad gas for a solid two days. I've never known anything like it. I was farting almost constantly, and I had really painful cramps. It's funny looking back on it now, but it was awful at the time. Those things are not fit for human consumption.

Reminds me of a time I was trying to help my friend: We were on a school trip, and the bus ride lasted for hours. He got easily car sick, so I recommended he try some salt licorice, as it had helped me in the past. I gave him a small bag of perhaps 20 of these licorice pastilles, but forgot to tell him to be moderate with the consumption. About an hour or two later, he started to seem very stressed, so I asked if everything was alright. «No.», he said; «I think I need to go.». I asked about how many he had taken, and he showed me the bag; there were hardly any left. «Oh..» There was a toilet in the middle of the bus, but he really didn’t want to use it out of fear of the potential smell or sounds. So he held on for about another 30 minutes, and we made a stop. But there was no toilet where we made the stop, and he couldn’t hold it anymore. He waited until most of our fellow students had gone off the bus, ran into the toilet that was in the middle of the bus, and there he sat for a while. I left for some fresh air and to stretch my legs, and by the time we were going to leave he had managed to find his way back to his seat. «You alright now?» «A little», he responded. Then as more people came onto the bus, especially through the door in the middle; you could hear the sounds of complaints back there. My friend just sat in dead silence, looking out through the window. I felt bad, but had to restrain myself from laughing for quite some time.

[@adamr9720]

When I was ten I wanted my mother to buy me some chocolate while we were out shopping and she wouldn't. We went into a pharmacy and as she was buying things I shoplifted a bar of chocolate. To hide the evidence I ate it all at once when we got home. As I was ten I didn't know what the word laxative meant. I soon found out. I am not particularly religious but I did tell God that if he would please make it stop I would never steal anything ever again. I guess that was instant karma for me.

[@Tomazack]

Those sugar-free candies are no joke. I knew full well about the dangers of over-indulging, but one night while watching a movie, the bag of sweets was right next to me, and I didn't reflect on what I was doing. I ate them subconsciously and didn't count them. Might have been 15, might have been 20, I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I didn't get any sleep that night. I was in agony. I got so inflated, and every time I shifted position while in bed, the air in my intestines would move and I had to run to the toilet. Lost count on how many times I went to the toilet, it was 6 times for the first 20 minutes of trying to sleep, after that it's all a blur. Now I respect the limit, and don't eat it on an empty stomach, heed my advice.
