Wake up in your tent in Haiti one morning at 4:30 am and fart. Only to realize it was more than a fart, if you know what I mean. Run downstairs, outside across the campus, and to the bathroom to have an explosion, if you know what I mean.
OR
Eat a meal at American Style Chicken restaurant in Haiti and go to the bathroom before you head back to the campus. It is pitch black, definitely a squatter, if you know what I mean, and have an explosion, if you know what I mean. The toilet does not flush; there's a sink, but no faucet. You toss your toilet paper on the floor because trash cans don't exist. And when it is too late, and a bit of light shines in, you realize your aim wasn't perfect, if you know what I mean.
Yes, I shat my pants. Yes, I exploded (literally) in a grungy public restroom. Yes, I got the cholera in Haiti. And, yes, I have recovered, mostly. Thanks, Sipro!
Oh my word! I love you even more now that you would share this story!!!
