Rather than leap out of bed, I prefer to wake slowly, just like Ms. Monroe is demonstrating above. Even though my bladder is full and I really need to pee, I hold off and enjoy a few moments of morning solitude. Waking slowly is key to maintaining one&#8217;s sense of self-determination in a clockwork world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, the bladder can be ignored no more and I trundle off to the toilet. As I deliver a full night&#8217;s worth of ghetto gold, my emptying bladder relinquishes room in the nether regions for my first fart of the day. It&#8217;s a relieving, triumphal event.
