6. I'm seriously thinking about becoming a donor

I've spent many years training my gut bacteria to make farts that smell just like potpourri. I figure there's got to be a market for something like that.

7. A Poop Bank in Massachusetts Will Pay You $40 Every Day

Are you under 50 years old, willing to make daily trips to Medford, and have regular bowel movements? You, my friend, could be earning $40 a day—just for pooping.

All you have to do is visit OpenBiome, launched in 2012 as the only independent nonprofit stool bank in the country. The brainchild of MIT postdoctoral associate Mark Smith, OpenBiome collects, tests, and provides fecal samples to 122 hospitals in 33 states for one of the most interesting medical treatment innovations today: fecal microbiota transplantation.

“Think of us as a blood bank, but for poop,” said Smith, who developed OpenBiome when he saw the gap in the medical structure to provide many patients with the life-saving fecal samples. “You shouldn’t have to fly across the country to get poop.”

Smith works with a team of full-time and part-time researchers, graduate students, gastroenterologists, and business minds to ensure that fecal samples are in every city and town and within a two-hour radius for every person who needs them. Smith said that they’ve hit the four-hour radius so far.

8. I'm thinking about more of a boutique business

I'm going to call it, Pull My Finger®. Eventually I may start up an R&D department and develop different fragrances, so there may be some franchise opportunities. I'm looking for investors, so if you want to get in on the ground floor, let me know and I'll send you my bank account # in the Caymans.

9. I can see it, you could even throw in some pills with gold glitter

Believe it or not, it’s possible to pimp your poop out. If you’re looking to add a little bling to your bowel movements, save up $425 of your hard-earned money and buy a gold pill. It’s a capsule coated in 24k gold and filled with tiny flecks of actual gold, which your body can’t digest. The result is a sparkly GOLDEN POO log, consisting of the most valuable mineral on earth mixed with the most disgusting thing in existence, but pooping out a golden log will work wonders on your confidence level. For the more thrifty sparkling poo enthusiast, you can also pick them up in silver for a slightly lower price, and if you’re really on the outs, try some edible glitter. It’s made for cakes and cookies, but if you eat it and force it out fast enough, you could wind up with a beautiful loaf of glittery poo-fection. Just don’t try eating real glitter, because glitter is comprised if tiny sheets of metal that could severely lacerate your insides.

10. My right wing fundie nut neighbor was honored to have a stool transplant

with Sarah Palin as the donor and after several years of enforced constipation (as a right winger, he's constipated by nature) he's ready to bring it to term.
