"You must not tell anyone," my mother said, "what I am about to tell you. In China your father had a sister who killed herself. She jumped into the family well. We say that your father has all brothers because it is as if she had never been born."

from "The Woman Warrior" by Maxine Hong Kingston

>KER-PLUNK! My turd slammed into the toilet water, showering my hairy ass with piss-water. In some act of divine mercy, the utter mess of chipotle-infused garbage I had eaten the previous afternoon had managed to solidify itself into one giant log, rather than tormenting me for hours as a greasy stew. I knew that this was somehow a lucky day. A red letter day.
The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
