Welcome to a session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) – this writer’s favorite fantasy. The story takes place in a high school not unlike other high schools. In this high school, however, there are strict rules regarding the toileting behavior of the school’s female students. Those who break the school toilet rules (including the rules against going to the bathroom in your pants) are brought before the TVPC to have their cases heard and their punishment given out if they are guilty. Meetings of the TVPC are called to order at 3:10 PM each school day in the TVPC meeting room – Room 222 of the high school. It should be noted that where this story takes place you need to be 18 in order to enter high school so all persons depicted, even though entirely fictional, are at least 18 years of age.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the TVPC meeting of February 19, 2014.
The first case before the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) this afternoon is an accusation of toilet clogging – Specifically, clogging the toilet with a big bowel movement and toilet paper. That’s a “Category #2” clogging, as faithful readers of the TVPC surely know. That clogged toilet was discovered early this morning by a custodian who was making a routine check of the girls’ room as she opened up the school. The clogged toilet was in the girls’ room near the gym and auditorium. That leads us to the conclusion that the toilet was clogged during play rehearsal last night. The subsequent TVPC investigation – Headed by the very lovely Miss Mars – Has charged Ellie, a tall slim junior in the school choir with clogging the toilet last night. Ellie has pleaded “Not Guilty” and vehemently denies her guilt. Furthermore, she’s not at all happy to be facing this charge.
“I didn’t clog the toilet – I just didn’t,” she says, matter-of-factly, “I’ve actually never clogged a toilet – At least not here at school.” “What makes you think it was me, anyway?” she turns and asks Miss Mars, “It’s not like I have a history of clogging toilets or anything like that.” “But you did have a bowel movement here at school last night, didn’t you?” Miss Mars asks her, “You did excuse yourself from play rehearsal for a few minutes and you went and did your business in that girls’ room didn’t you?” “Yes, I did do a bowel movement last night,” Ellie answers, a tinge of sarcasm in her voice, “I often do bowel movements in the toilet – In fact, I do that in a toilet pretty much every day.” “And then I wipe myself with toilet paper and flush the toilet,” she continues, sarcasm evident, “And then it all goes down the toilet like it’s supposed to.” I take a moment to admonish her. “There’s no reason to be sarcastic, young lady,” I tell her, “We’re only trying to find out who clogged the toilet last night.”
“Well, it wasn’t me!” Ellie argues vehemently, “I don’t have any idea who did it – I just know it wasn’t me.” “I did do a bowel movement last night like I said,” she continues, “But when I flushed, it all went down the toilet like it was supposed to.” “I didn’t clog the toilet – I just didn’t,” she repeats, a tinge of anger – Or at least frustration – evident in her voice. She pauses for a moment to catch her breath and maintain her temper. “Look, I’m involved in a lot of school activities and that means I’m at school a lot,” the pretty junior then tells us. “And that also means that I have to go #2 in the school bathrooms a lot,” she continues, “And as many times as I’ve done that, I’ve never clogged the toilet here – Not even once.” “I do have pretty big bowel movements sometimes and I did have a pretty big one last night,” she explains, “But every time when I flush it, it all just goes down like it’s supposed to.” “I’ve just never clogged the toilet before – at least not here at school,” she explains further, “And I didn’t clog it last night, either.” “Yes, I did have to go to the bathroom at play rehearsal last night and yes, it was #2,” she tells us, changing her tone in the process. “And then I went to the girls’ room and did it in the toilet like a big girl,” she continues, her sarcasm clearly evident once again, “And then I pulled that little handle and my bowel movement, my pee, and all my toilet paper went down the toilet like it was supposed to.”
Once again, of course, I have to warn her about her tone. “I’ve really had enough of that sarcasm,” I tell her, “And I’m not going to warn you again.” “Wouldn’t it be a shame if you were found innocent of clogging the toilet but still got detention and writing punishment for your attitude?” I ask her rhetorically. “I’m sorry, sir,” she then tells me, “It’s just that it’s frustrating to be accused of this when I didn’t do it,” she says, “I shouldn’t have to serve detention and write lines when I didn’t even clog the toilet.” “Well, no one is going to punish you if you didn’t do it,” I assure her, “Like I said before, we’re just trying to find out who did do it.”
“But I still don’t know why Miss Mars thinks it was me,” Ellie says, this time more frustrated than anything else, “You have my toilet record, sir – You know I’m not one to be clogging the toilet.” “Why don’t you charge one of the other girls that were there last night?” she turns and asks Miss Mars, “Ivy, Teddy, Trish, Leslie and Brianna – They were all there last night and I know they HAVE clogged toilets in school before.”
“Well, you can’t blame Teddy for this one,” chimes in Mrs. Duncan, a Music teacher who, as supervisor of the musical portion of the play, was there that night. Mrs. Duncan is also Teddy’s mom. “I can tell you for a fact, it couldn’t have been Teddy,” “Mrs. Duncan tells us, laughing, “It couldn’t have been her because she already clogged the toilet at home before we even got to school last night.” The comment draws a few giggles from the assembled crowd and, not surprisingly, a groan of embarrassment from poor Teddy. “MOM!” the pretty, good natured, senior beauty exclaims. “I’m sorry dear,” her mom then tells her, “I’m sorry but I just couldn’t resist.”
“O.K. – Then it wasn’t Teddy,” Ellie quickly chimes back in, “Back how about somebody else? – How about ANYBODY else?” “I mean, there were a lot of girls there that night,” Ellie argues, “What was I the only person to use the girls’ room last night?” She probably meant that last part facetiously, but the question actually proves interesting. “Actually, Ellie, you WERE the only one to use the girls’ room last night,” Miss Mars tells her, “At least the only one to use it for a bowel movement.” “We talked to all the girls who were at play rehearsal,” Miss Mars then explains, “A few girls admitted to urinating in there last night but Ellie was the only girl who said she did a bowel movement.” That revelation brings a stunned silence to the committee room, including myself. I had previously been inclined to believe the girl’s story and find her “Not Guilty” but now I’m not so sure.
But then suddenly there is a new voice in this matter. “Sir – Excuse me, sir,” comes a voice from the back of the room. That voice (and the raised hand that comes with it) belongs to Krista, a pretty junior brunette who is with us today writing sentences – “I will not soil my panties in school again” – on the blackboard in the back of the room. That’s her punishment not only for soiling her panties but also lying about it. “The thing is, sir, I don’t really know who clogged the toilet,” Krista then tells me, “But I’m just saying that it might not have been Ellie.” Of course, I just look at the petite and pretty brunette puzzled. I mean, what kind of explanation is that. “The thing is, sir, that I don’t think Ellie was the only girl to do #2 in the girls’ room there last night,” Krista then clarifies, “In fact, I’m sure she wasn’t the only one to do that.” “I mean, I didn’t have to go #2 myself last night, but I did have to go pee,” she explains, “And while I was in there, the girls’ basketball team was just getting back from their game last night.” Krista goes on to explain further that while she was washing her hands, a few girls from the cheerleading squad came running in there. “It was Carrie-Anne and Hayden and another girl I didn’t know,” she says, “And Miss Musso was there, too.” Miss Musso, of course, is the very sexy but toilet troubled Cheerleading Coach. “Man, they were in a hurry to get to the toilet,” Krista then explains, “And I could tell by the way they were walking with their butts clenched that it wasn’t just peeing that they were desperate to do.” “Especially with Carrie-Anne and Miss Musso,” Krista adds, “Man, it looked like they had to go #2 something fierce.” “Like I said, I don’t know if any of them clogged the toilet,” she repeats, “I’m just saying that Ellie wasn’t the only one doing that kind of thing in the girls’ room last night.”
Mrs. Crabtree, a member of the TVPC, then suggests that we get those cheerleaders and Coach Musso before the TVPC immediately. “They should all be downstairs at cheerleading practice,” she points out. Of course, I send a messenger to get them.
In the meantime, I turn my attention back to Ellie. With this revelation, I’m once again inclined to believe that she didn’t clog the toilet. I mean, even if all of the cheerleaders claim they didn’t do it, it’s still no reason to believe that Ellie did. “Ellie, I’m inclined to believe your story and find you ‘Not Guilty,’” I tell her, “But first I want to make sure you understand something.” “Clogging the toilet as you did isn’t a serious offense,” I explain, “Your punishment for it wouldn’t be very bad at all.” “But lying to the TVPC is another matter entirely,” I warn her, “That would probably mean writing 500 sentences and of a very long sentence at that.” “My point is that if you did clog the toilet, it would best to just admit it now and take your punishment for that,” I explain further, “You’d probably get an hour or 2 of detention and no more than 200 sentences to write.” “Because if we find out later that you really did do it, your punishment is going to be a whole lot worse,” I further warn her, “You’d, of course, get punished for lying in addition to the punishment for clogging the toilet.” But Ellie remains adamant. “I didn’t do it, sir,” she says, “I just didn’t clog the toilet last night or any other time in school.” With that, I find her “Not Guilty” and she is dismissed.
With perfect timing, I then welcome Coach Musso and 3 of her cheerleaders to the TVPC meeting. With our sexy, spandex-clad Cheerleading Coach are Carrie-Anne and Hayden (as Krista said) as well as Tatianna – apparently, the one girl that Krista didn’t know. Getting right to the point, I asked them about the clogged the toilet. “We have it on good authority that all of you used the girls’ room by the gym and auditorium last night,” I tell them, “And we have it on good authority you all did bowel movements in there.” All 4 of them nod their head “yes.” “If I understand this correctly, all of you must have been holding in those bowel movements for a good long time at the game,” I also tell them, “Because you were all in quite a hurry to get to the girls’ room once you got back here.” I also remind them that I know last night’s game was at Schooner Bay HS – Only about a 10 minute bus trip from here. “So no one better tell me that the urgent need to go only happened on the bus ride home,” I warn them. “It’s more than obvious that you were all already holding it in at the game,” I point out, “And that’s no doubt because you didn’t like the condition of the bathroom facilities there.”
Coach Musso then starts to explain about the bathroom conditions last night, but I immediately stop her. “I don’t want to hear it, Grace,” I yell at her. “We’ve been through this more than enough times before,” I remind her, “You know very well that you don’t always get ideal bathroom facilities at games but sometimes you need to use them anyway.” “There’s no excuse for any of you to be holding it in like that at a game,” I tell Coach Musso and the 3 girls, “That’s how you end up having accidents in your pants.” “But none of us did have an accident,” Coach Musso quickly points out. “I checked all of their panties closely for accidents and none of them had one,” she says, “And I didn’t have an accident, either.” “And I checked Miss Musso, too,” points out Hayden, the Assistant Cheerleading Captain, “I can confirm that Coach Musso’s panties were clean just like the rest of us.” “Well, thank goodness for that,” I tell them all, “It would seem that you’re all pretty lucky in that regard. As much as the girls’ toilet behavior annoys me, there is no TVPC rule against their holding it in, so all I can do is move on.
Getting back to the clogged toilet, I ask if any of them would like to confess to doing it. My question applies to Coach Musso as well as the 3 cheerleaders. Though teachers and coaches aren’t normally subject to TVPC rules and TVPC punishments, Coach Musso is a special case. Because of her past toileting issues, including many at games while serving as Cheerleading Coach, she had to agree to be subject to TVPC rules as well as other special conditions in order to remain as cheerleading coach.
But neither Coach Musso nor either of her 3 girls will step up and confess to clogging the toilet. “This is your last chance, ladies,” I sternly warn them, “Clogging the toilet like this isn’t really a serious offense, especially if you come forward now and admit to doing it.” “But the longer it takes us to find the guilty party, the worse your punishment is going to be,” I further warn them, “So now is your last chance to make it easy on yourself.”
It is then that Carrie-Anne, a cute senior with glasses raises her hand. “I did it, sir,” she says, “I’m the one who clogged the toilet last night.” “I really didn’t mean to do it, sir,” she continues, “It just kind of happened.” “I just sat down to use the toilet like I always do,” she explains, “And my – um, um, you know my um stuff – was just too big to go down the toilet.” “I just don’t know what happened last night,” she explains further, “I can’t even remember the last time I clogged the toilet like that.” “I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear,” she adds. Actually the last time she clogged the toilet – At least in school – Was last year. But that’s not really important now.
“Well, no one is saying that you did it on purpose, Carrie-Anne,” I tell the senior cutie, “I understand that girls just have really big bowel movements sometimes and sometimes they’re even too big for the toilet.” “I understand that these kinds of things just happen sometimes,” I tell her, “But I have to think that holding it in like you did at the game didn’t help matters any.” “When you hold it in your bowel movement only gets bigger and a lot harder,” I explain. “Maybe if you had gone at the game like you were supposed to, this wouldn’t have happened,” I explain further, “At least if your bowel movement would have been softer, it might have been easier to flush down the toilet.” But Carrie-Anne says that she doubts that and a softer bowel movement would only have meant more toilet paper being used.” “That might have made it even worse,” she says, “And wouldn’t that have been a toilet violation while representing the school?” Toilet violations while representing the school are, of course, more serious.
But I regret to inform Carrie-Anne that hers was also a toilet violation while representing the school. “You are representing the school until you leave school grounds after you get back from the game,” I tell her, “So assuming you headed directly to the girls’ room when you got off the bus that still applies.” Carrie-Anne suddenly looks worried to be facing the additional punishment for a toilet violation while representing the school, but I calm her down. “You still didn’t do it on purpose, so it’s still not a serious offense,” I point out, “You will have to get the extra punishment for doing it while representing the school, but still it won’t be that bad.” “But I do also have to consider that you didn’t tell Miss Musso when it happened,” I point out further, “That clog in the toilet sat there all night and it wasn’t a pretty sight for the custodian to find this morning.” Carrie-Anne apologizes for that but also points out she did eventually admit to it when pressed. “Yes you did and I’ll consider that as well,” I assure her.
This is a Category #2 clog (it included toilet paper as well as that big bowel movement), which makes it a bit more serious than clogging with the bowel movement alone. And Carrie Anne’s got a previous offense for Leaving Class Without Permission to Use the Bathroom and 2 more for Panty-Soiling at cheerleading practice. For punishment, she’ll have to serve 3 days detention and write, “I will not clog the toilet in the girls’ room at school – Especially while representing the school as a cheerleader” 250 times. She clearly doesn’t like how long that sentence is, but she seems generally satisfied it wasn’t worse than 250 times.
But as Coach Musso and her girls turn to leave, I stop them. I have one more matter to deal with. “Not so fast, Grace,” I tell our sexy, spandex-clad Cheerleading Coach, “I’m not done with you.” With that, Coach Musso returns to the podium but looks at me puzzled. “You’ve admitted to holding it in at the game,” I remind Coach Musso, “Do you have anything to say for yourself about that?” “Yes, sir, but I didn’t have an accident,” she answers, “Like we were talking about, I used the girls’ room with some of my girls once we got back to our school.” “But that wasn’t my question, Grace,” I remind her, “My question was about your holding it in at the game.” “It’s all well and good that you didn’t have an accident,” I continue, “Trust me, you don’t even want to think about the punishment you’d have gotten if you had had an accident.” “But we both know that you’re always required to use the toilet at games when you need to,” I explain, “We both know you’re not allowed to be holding it in at games like that.”
“But sir!” Grace intones, as she once again tries to explain about not having an accident. But I, of course, stop her – This time with a tinge of anger in my voice. “That’s enough, Miss Musso,” I tell her angrily, “I don’t want to hear any more about you not having an accident.” “We both know that simply not having an accident just isn’t good enough anymore,” I remind her, “We both know what the rules are for you now.” “While it may be permissible for your girls to hold it in at a game, you know we have special rules for you,” I remind her further, “And you agreed to be governed by these rules when you were rehired as Cheerleading Coach.” “You know you’re not allowed to be holding it in at a game at all,” I explain, “You know that you are required to use the girls’ room immediately when you need to.”
Miss Musso, now fighting back tears, looks like she wants to try to explain herself further, but she realizes that it would be pointless. Obviously, she’s in violation and she knows it. With her head bowed in shame, our very sexy cheerleading coach pleads “Guilty” to “Violating Her Special Toilet Rules.”
Expressing my disappointment in her, I then sentence her to write, “I will not unnecessarily hold in my bowel movements at basketball games again or any other time while representing the school as Cheerleading Coach” 500 times. “That’s a long sentence, sir,” she tells me, glumly, “It’ll take forever to write that 500 times. “Good!” I tell her sternly, “And while you’re writing it, I hope you’ll think about what you did.” “I hope you’ll think about how you could have avoided all that had you just gone to the girls’ room when you needed to,” I explain, “A few minutes on the toilet there could have saved you many hours of tedious writing later.” I also sentence her to spend her free period for the next 2 weeks sitting on the toilet.” “You’ll sit your time in the girls’ locker room,” I further stipulate, “And you’ll sit in the stall without a door on it.” Grace lets out an audible groan at hearing that. It’s not exactly dignifying for a teacher and coach to be doing toilet sitting punishment in the girls’ locker room where her girls can see her. “I’m sorry, Grace,” I tell her, “But you brought this on yourself.” “I’m very disappointed with you,” I explain further, “I really thought we had put all these toileting issues behind you.”

It is then that Carrie-Anne, a cute senior with glasses raises her hand. “I did it, sir,” she says, “I’m the one who clogged the toilet last night.” “I really didn’t mean to do it, sir,” she continues, “It just kind of happened.” “I just sat down to use the toilet like I always do,” she explains, “And my – um, um, you know my um stuff – was just too big to go down the toilet.” “I just don’t know what happened last night,” she explains further, “I can’t even remember the last time I clogged the toilet like that.” “I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear,” she adds. Actually the last time she clogged the toilet – At least in school – Was last year. But that’s not really important now.
“Well, no one is saying that you did it on purpose, Carrie-Anne,” I tell the senior cutie, “I understand that girls just have really big bowel movements sometimes and sometimes they’re even too big for the toilet.” “I understand that these kinds of things just happen sometimes,” I tell her, “But I have to think that holding it in like you did at the game didn’t help matters any.” “When you hold it in your bowel movement only gets bigger and a lot harder,” I explain. “Maybe if you had gone at the game like you were supposed to, this wouldn’t have happened,” I explain further, “At least if your bowel movement would have been softer, it might have been easier to flush down the toilet.” But Carrie-Anne says that she doubts that and a softer bowel movement would only have meant more toilet paper being used.” “That might have made it even worse,” she says, “And wouldn’t that have been a toilet violation while representing the school?” Toilet violations while representing the school are, of course, more serious.
But I regret to inform Carrie-Anne that hers was also a toilet violation while representing the school. “You are representing the school until you leave school grounds after you get back from the game,” I tell her, “So assuming you headed directly to the girls’ room when you got off the bus that still applies.” Carrie-Anne suddenly looks worried to be facing the additional punishment for a toilet violation while representing the school, but I calm her down. “You still didn’t do it on purpose, so it’s still not a serious offense,” I point out, “You will have to get the extra punishment for doing it while representing the school, but still it won’t be that bad.” “But I do also have to consider that you didn’t tell Miss Musso when it happened,” I point out further, “That clog in the toilet sat there all night and it wasn’t a pretty sight for the custodian to find this morning.” Carrie-Anne apologizes for that but also points out she did eventually admit to it when pressed. “Yes you did and I’ll consider that as well,” I assure her.
This is a Category #2 clog (it included toilet paper as well as that big bowel movement), which makes it a bit more serious than clogging with the bowel movement alone. And Carrie Anne’s got a previous offense for Leaving Class Without Permission to Use the Bathroom and 2 more for Panty-Soiling at cheerleading practice. For punishment, she’ll have to serve 3 days detention and write, “I will not clog the toilet in the girls’ room at school – Especially while representing the school as a cheerleader” 250 times. She clearly doesn’t like how long that sentence is, but she seems generally satisfied it wasn’t worse than 250 times.
But as Coach Musso and her girls turn to leave, I stop them. I have one more matter to deal with. “Not so fast, Grace,” I tell our sexy, spandex-clad Cheerleading Coach, “I’m not done with you.” With that, Coach Musso returns to the podium but looks at me puzzled. “You’ve admitted to holding it in at the game,” I remind Coach Musso, “Do you have anything to say for yourself about that?” “Yes, sir, but I didn’t have an accident,” she answers, “Like we were talking about, I used the girls’ room with some of my girls once we got back to our school.” “But that wasn’t my question, Grace,” I remind her, “My question was about your holding it in at the game.” “It’s all well and good that you didn’t have an accident,” I continue, “Trust me, you don’t even want to think about the punishment you’d have gotten if you had had an accident.” “But we both know that you’re always required to use the toilet at games when you need to,” I explain, “We both know you’re not allowed to be holding it in at games like that.”
“But sir!” Grace intones, as she once again tries to explain about not having an accident. But I, of course, stop her – This time with a tinge of anger in my voice. “That’s enough, Miss Musso,” I tell her angrily, “I don’t want to hear any more about you not having an accident.” “We both know that simply not having an accident just isn’t good enough anymore,” I remind her, “We both know what the rules are for you now.” “While it may be permissible for your girls to hold it in at a game, you know we have special rules for you,” I remind her further, “And you agreed to be governed by these rules when you were rehired as Cheerleading Coach.” “You know you’re not allowed to be holding it in at a game at all,” I explain, “You know that you are required to use the girls’ room immediately when you need to.”
Miss Musso, now fighting back tears, looks like she wants to try to explain herself further, but she realizes that it would be pointless. Obviously, she’s in violation and she knows it. With her head bowed in shame, our very sexy cheerleading coach pleads “Guilty” to “Violating Her Special Toilet Rules.”
Expressing my disappointment in her, I then sentence her to write, “I will not unnecessarily hold in my bowel movements at basketball games again or any other time while representing the school as Cheerleading Coach” 500 times. “That’s a long sentence, sir,” she tells me, glumly, “It’ll take forever to write that 500 times. “Good!” I tell her sternly, “And while you’re writing it, I hope you’ll think about what you did.” “I hope you’ll think about how you could have avoided all that had you just gone to the girls’ room when you needed to,” I explain, “A few minutes on the toilet there could have saved you many hours of tedious writing later.” I also sentence her to spend her free period for the next 2 weeks sitting on the toilet.” “You’ll sit your time in the girls’ locker room,” I further stipulate, “And you’ll sit in the stall without a door on it.” Grace lets out an audible groan at hearing that. It’s not exactly dignifying for a teacher and coach to be doing toilet sitting punishment in the girls’ locker room where her girls can see her. “I’m sorry, Grace,” I tell her, “But you brought this on yourself.” “I’m very disappointed with you,” I explain further, “I really thought we had put all these toileting issues behind you.”
