He Sees You When You're Peeing. He Knows When You're Stopped Up.
Too often our bathrooms are places shrouded in mystery. Places of potties and puzzlement, they offer many questions, but no answers. Well, fret no more little shower time truth seekers. Sam the Super Sleuth is here. 100% detective all the way to his lovingly crocheted core, Sam will perch upon his tank-top post in a state of constant vigilance so that he may answer the bathroom questions that keep you up at night. Questions such as...
What is this rash and where did it come from?
Why is Charmin so linty?
Dear God, the smell. What has Uncle Jerry been eating?
Is that pepper or a dead bug stuck in my toothbrush?
How long has that hair been growing out of my chin?
Who the hell put the new roll of toilet paper next to the holder instead of on it?
Should I lay off the guacamole?
and finally...
Why didn't someone tell me that Sam the Super Sleuth was made of yarn so fume absorbent that after just one week we'd change his name to Sam the Stool Sample?

Perhaps Sam the Super Sleuth should stay well away from the guest bathroom. Just in case, you know.
In other thoughts, I wonder what other wacky and crazy things poor Sam experiences. It's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it..

I've never even understood toilet seat covers with matching rugs, and now you expect me to deal with this beady-eyed little monstrosity? Bathrooms shouldn't contain anything that can't be hosed down.

Bathrooms shouldn't contain anything that stares at you while you're on the toilet.

Geez, I REALLY don't like being looked at while on the toilet. Sorry Sam, you're not welcome.
Actually, I SO dislike it I just could not use a friend's bathroom, which was filled with plastic heads for wigs (she was an actress in a sketch comedy troupe).

Is that a mustache, or is Sam shoving something up his nostrals to avoid the smell?

Are his arms made out of tampons?

"Are his arms made out of tampons?"
Now that WOULD be handy! An extra toilet paper roll hidden inside his torso, emergency tapon arms, and when you squeeze his nose you get a fresh spray of "Glade: Harvest Fresh Scent" to cover for the explosive aftermath of last nights Burrito Bonanza.
He's be like a little knitted McGuyver!

I have one simple question: Why?!
Posted by: LizAnn | Jul 7, 2006 5:21:07 PM
I don't want to have to be the one to explain to Roto-Rooter just what is clogging up the pipes after Sam the Super Sleuth takes a header into the toilet bowl.

ROFLMAO at Inky!!!!

My gawd, it's a Peter Sellers Inspector Clouseau TP knockoff. Gives a whole new meaning to the film title, "A Shot In The Dark" I guess...

Reminds me of the guys they pick up hanging out by the childrens bathrooms. Is that the inspiration?

what happened to the poodles??
Posted by: Kathryn | Jul 13, 2006 10:43:26 AM
Sam did away with the poodles. He's a canine-icidal maniac.
Posted by: Marcia | Jul 13, 2006 12:56:55 PM
I totally think that Sam did something to the poodles. He looks very, very guilty.
Posted by: Elaine | Jul 13, 2006 2:29:29 PM
Unfortunately, we lost the poodles. They exploded and we’re still cleaning up the mess.
No, actually Typepad exploded yesterday and things went all screwy. The poodles will be restored shortly.

Did anyone notice that the title of the pattern is "Super SleuthS", meaning that there is more than one? Was this one of a series of detectives? If so, we can expect to see Hercule Poirot, Qwilleran, Sherlock Holmes, Father Dowling, Brother Cadfael, etc. in crocheted toilet-roll-cover form.
Posted by: Lois | Aug 2, 2006 9:03:16 PM
Sherlock Holmes...
I'm a huge fan, but I would NOT be able to have him in my bathroom.
Posted by: Tweeza Man | Jan 25, 2007 2:13:57 PM
Oh my gosh...the "why is charmin so linty" question is too funny! I don't know how many times I've wondered that same thing. Thanks for the great laugh!
