Sometimes a story is so good, so flawless, so genuinely perfect, that you just have to hear it from the source. There is no possible commentary you could add that would make it better. Today, we have one of those stories, from Al Roker, host of Today. Via TMZ:

Roker — who got his stomach stapled in March 2002 — shared his most embarrassing moment on “Dateline” last night, saying he was covering an event at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave a month after his operation … when he felt the urge to let one rip.

Roker said, “I probably went off and ate something I wasn’t supposed to. And as I’m walking to the press room, [I’m thinking] well, I gotta pass a little gas here. I’m walking by myself. Who’s gonna know? Only a little something extra came out. I pooped my pants.”

“I pooped my pants.”

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!
