PickNPull'd to the porta-potty

Oscar and I, Disco Dave, Ben, and Fester went to the PickNPull yesterday afternoon. PickNPull is an auto wrecker's west of the city. I have decided to re-upholster my car and needed some practice door panels before I take on the real thing. I have never gone to the auto wreckers in the past because I didn't want to be elbow deep in a car, on the other side of the washrooms when "gotta poop" strikes.
We were in the "import" section, which of course is on the opposite side of where the porta-potty is when sure enough, the "gotta poop" signal happens. Years of honed porta-potty finding skills kicked in and I found myself doing the run-walk down an aisle to the distant toilet or maybe a suitable place to drop my drawers and do my business where I wouldn't be seen. I was caught in a full blown poop moment, I stopped, remembered "I have Oscar!!!" and found myself in front of VW Passat. It had all the doors, the paint was decent, no broken window's, it looked like a nice car...and then I looked inside. Wires everywhere, interior completely stripped, headliner hanging in tatters. I realized, this car was alot like me before Oscar. It looks pretty good from the outside, but when you peer in....you realize a good exterior is hiding the chaos within. It took me a moment or two, taking some deep breathes to compose myself before I could get back to the task at hand. Having Oscar saved my panties again. Thank you Oscar!!
