Okay, I've reached that point in my life where I have to get up in the middle of the night to take a trip "to the little boys room"...

Sometimes twice... :?

But I have not become incontinent...

That's nothing. I pee at ten past six and poo at twenty past six every morning without fail.

Problem is, I don’t wake up until seven....
