The Poop Rule

The occupants of Flat 20 do formally declare that no person shall defecate on the Flat 20 premises, either inside or outside of the bathroom proper. Rule applies to all flat occupants and visitors including but not limited to overnight guests, non-Flat 20 Hampden House residents, and Hampden House staff.

Corollary: If one must break the aforementioned rule, one must never admit to having done so; indeed, no person shall inquire about another's adherence to the rule or accuse another of its breakage either directly or by implication.
