My Arse
I feel I may have covered this one once before... But my arse simply doesn't shit straight.

Sit bolt upright on the crapper while dropping the kids off, and the bastard thing fires offline.

Ok... Maybe I've not given it my full attention.

So. Sit upright, back straight. Hands on knees to maintain a symmetrical position and ensure that arse is correctly positioned on the seat.

Deep breath... Squeeze. *Thunk-splash*

Fuck it. It'll never shoot straight. god knows why.

I'm thinking
as a physicist rather than anyone who knows anything whatsoever about biology, that maybe you have some sort of obstruction on one side of your arsehole which causes extra friction and shoots the emerging turd off centre.

Perhaps a small haemorrhoid? You could get someone to look for you.

Maybe one buttock is bigger than the other?

maybe
you've got arse-pixies. They live in your rectum, occasionally put bits of broken glass into your poo, and (in your case) push your turds off-side.

I think you make the mistake......
of thinking that your trouts might actually be straight. Also, they would have to spin like a round leaving a rifle to go dead straight. This would also require your anus to "be rifled" - that is to have a spiral channel dug into your ring that would force the exiting turd to spin.

I think turds are coiled in the exit queue, so I would expect them to come out of centre.

There is a whole weaponary procedure called "aiming off and miss drills" that instruct you how to correct your aim and repeatedly hit the target straight. But without a massive investment into turd based projectiles, and perhaps a laser sight, you sir, are screwed.

I'll keep an eye on my own catering offload in the future.

^Nope.
It's arse-pixies. Definitely.

The little bastards.

A bit of bum love
should straighten you out. Clear out the blockages, so to speak.

try this.
1. Draw a picture of a hated personal enemy/public figure onto a single sheet of toilet roll.

2. Place the toilet roll drawing side up in the water

3. Position buttocks on seat of thunder throne

4. Profit!

Freedom of expression....
When it comes to crapping, I never go for symmetry. Instead, I prefer to go for more abstract designs. A couple of months ago (during shit stories part 2 qotw) I shat a perfect apostrophe. In Times New Roman, 50+ points.

*clicks for poo post*

p.s. I'm curious as to how to achieve a "thunk-splash" - mine are more of a "splerDOOSH"?

How are you doing Mr Humpty? Haven't "seen" you for a while....

Aim
You don't really want to drop them straight - you'll get the big splash straight back up to tickle chill and rehydrate, no thanks,

AHaha
Why are the funniest stories always about poo?

Angle
The question is... does it fire offline in a consistent direction, or is it random?

You could sit skewed on the seat to compensate and ensure a downwards trajectory.
