Apartment door deposits and crafty burglars

So, the other day, my wife was tuned into Yamachan, the comic genius behind those teeny-tiny red glasses frames, spinning a yarn on his radio show. He spins a tale about a daring deposit of a particularly lengthy turd, left brazenly in front of an apartment door. Local law enforcement step in, claiming this is a burglar’s cheeky prelude to a heist. Apparently, if the thief can pull off this gross stunt without getting nabbed, they consider themselves lucky enough to rob the joint without getting caught.

Sounds like something straight out of a comic sketch. But hold on, Yamachan’s not one to just make up tall tales, right? Flash forward to last night, when I was escorting my mother-in-law to a pre-Mother’s Day meal. I figured, what better icebreaker than this delightfully disgusting tale? And guess what? She not only knew the story but confirmed it through her own mom, my wife’s grandma.

But here’s the kicker, the turd must be an unbroken, freshly-laid masterpiece. No bagging and dropping allowed. Talk about a delightful conversation starter. Ask around and let me know what you find out.

Edit: My wife just informed me, “It has to be 一本ぐそ” and she said the “un” in “unchi” means “luck”.
