Get the Drop the Sharpie mug.

the devil's sharpie

Sometimes when I wipe... I'll wipe and I'll wipe and I'll wipe... a hundred times. Still Poop, still poop. It's like I'm wiping a marker or something. That's the devil's sharpie.

I think I just used a whole roll of toilet paper thanks to the devil's sharpie.
