THE LOVE POOP

When two very young Polish lovers were refused permission to marry by their respective parents, they decided to do what any other couple in their position would do (if you believe Shakespeare) and checked into a cheap hotel with the intention of committing suicide. Before doing so, they had stopped off at their local chemist, who knew both their families well, and asked for the strongest poison he had in his shop. The chemist suspected that they might be up to no good and so instead brewed up the most powerful laxative he could create. This was particularly unfortunate as the room they had rented at the hotel did not come with an en-suite bathroom and they had thrown the key to the locked door out of the sixth floor window after locking it from the inside. After making their final farewells to each other, the couple proceeded to swallow the entire contents of the bottle before settling down on the bed to die. Three days later, and after numerous screams for help, the couple were finally discovered by a maid who had come to clean the room. Unfortunately for the maid, the room needed rather more cleaning than she had imagined. The manager of the hotel stated later: "The room stinks. The walls are caked and even the ceiling is splattered. You cannot even see through the windows". The couple abandoned their plans to marry.
