I believe the phrase "too much information" was invented for situations just like this. At the same time, though, points MUST be awarded for honesty . . .
--AL ROKER says he once pooped his pants . . . at the WHITE HOUSE. It was in 2002, a month after he underwent gastric bypass surgery.
--He told "Dateline", quote, "I probably went off and ate something I wasn't supposed to. And as I'm walking to the press room, [I'm thinking] well, I gotta pass a little gas here. I'm walking by myself. Who's gonna know?
--"Only a little something extra came out. I pooped my pants. Not horribly, but enough that I knew."
--So what did Al do about it? Probably what the rest of us would have done. He said, quote, "I was panicking, so I got to the restroom of the press room, threw out the underwear and just went commando."
--He added, quote, "It told me that I've gotta be very vigilant as to what I eat."
(check out the video-confession.... i love how serious the interviewer tries to stay!)
