“Do bears shit in the woods?”
The words hung in the air like a bad smell.
“Sorry, what?” asked Samantha, reaching down to rub the sores forming above her heels.
“Do bears,” Robbie cleared his throat for dramatic effect, “shit in the woods?”
He spread his arms to reveal a single porcelain toilet situated, quite literally, in the middle of their 5 mile hike into woodlands.
Samantha rolled her steely blue eyes, removed her Gucci heels and placed her bottom upon the wickedly cold, white throne.
She’d had many bad first dates in her time, but this one really was crap.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Dear Peter.
Good story. Full of pun. 😀 Although, I can’t imagine sitting in front my date in the middle of the woods to take a dump on an arbitrary toidy.
Shalom

Thanks for reading Rochelle.
Five miles in Gucci heels? What on earth was Robbie thinking of? Nice story, Peter!
I don’t think he’ll be seeing her again.
Great story, Mr. Binks.
Thanks!
Start the day laughing 🙂
Excellent! 🙂
The toilet figures so prominently in the photo it’s hard not to base a story on it. I almost did but then saw the toilet and tub were not (apparently) hooked up to plumbing and the windows in the background were clearly stored there, so I treated the environment like a general storage area and moved on from there (albeit in my typical very weird direction).
Well, never been on that kind of a date. Tnx for laughs!
Thank your lucky stars!
Methinks we’ll have a lot of stinkers this week that make us laugh, as does this one, Peter.
ha, quite possibly. I don’t tend to take the photo so literally but hey! 🙂
Same here… 😉
Brilliant! So beautifully written, as well.
Aww, this is such a lovely comment. Thank you Sandra!
Ha! Pretty sure there won’t be a second date! Gucci shoes versus his sense of humour? I’ll spend the afternoon with him thanks 🙂
Great title, modern dating at it’s finest. I can see why she’s moving on from pretty quickly 🙂
That would be my wife’s reaction.
Fun story
That was a good laugh. At the mention of bears I expected a different ending. I like yours better.
Well, at least he was the potty prince of the moment. 🙂
Ha ha ha. Something tells me there won’t be a second date for them.
Wonderfully funny!
Not a match made in heaven. But a tale spun out of a creative mind, for sure.
Loved it.
Awesome!
Reminds of an episode in NCIS Season 3!
This weeks prompt has brought out the best in people. Love your pumch line at the end.
That truly was a sh** date. good use of the prompt.
Ah! Oh so funny. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Oh my…lol
Ha… I guess there will no be a second
Dear Peter, Jeepers – Well, everyone who has a first date usually goes on a the second . . . Very Clever reply! Merry Christmas!
