Andre, You may prefer to look at it as competition between your brain and your asshole, but I'm of the mind that if I can get them to cooperate by using my head and finding toilet quick, thus I won't have to be stuck with my toilet taking over my head.
The Apostle Paul agrees with you tho - he says "I beat my body and make it my slave" but I'd rather pet my body and make it my friend. Different strokes, I guess.
