All About Jack Sh*t

It seems that people are always telling everyone else "You don't know Jack Sh*t." Well, I am going to explain it all to you. Afterwards, if someone tells you this you can say "Actually, I DO know Jack Sh*t."

Jack Schitt is the only son of Awh and Oh Schitt. Awh, the fertilizer magnate, married Oh, the owner of the Kneedeep Inn, which expanded to become Kneedeep Inn Schitt, Inc. Later, Jack married Noe, and they produced seven children. Holy, their first, passed on shortly after birth.

Next came the twin sons, Deep and Dip, and two daughters, Fulla, and Giva and another son, Bull. Deep married Dumb, a high school dropout. Dip married Lotta, and they had a nervous son, Chicken. Fulla and Giva married the Happens brothers.

The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd, and Hoarse. Bull just recently married a spicy Italian number, Pisa, and they are awaiting the arrival of a little baby Schitt. They've already picked the name of Pila.

Chicken eventually inherited the fertilizer industry from his grandfather.  The business grew rapidly due to his unique management skills and catchy slogan: “Crops Not Growing?  You Need Chicken Shitt.”  For a while, people said that he had a Schitt-load of money, but he lost the company when he eventually became afraid to collect the money owed from people on his Schitt list.

After being married for 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, but kept her previous name. She was later known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Recently, one of Jack Schitt's old girlfriends Helpya Self, gave up her two daughters, Sh*ttanya Self and Pissayna Self, for adoption. Jack cousins, Hunka Schitt and Loada Schitt are now the twins' foster parents.

The twins are welcomed by one brother, Crocka Schitt, and two sisters, Take-a Schitt and Heap-a Schitt. Jack's sister, Wortha, moved out to make room for the large family.

Wortha soon fell in love with a Mr. Brick, and they were married. She moved into his huge house, but refused to change her last name. Now their home close to Schitt Creek is known throughout the community as the Brick-Schitt House. With its marble floors and ornate exterior, the townsfolk would often say that anything that looked good was "Built Like A Brick-Schitt House."

Heap-a Schitt married Mr. Getza Head, an Italian chef. Soon, there were lots of Schitt-Head children. Heap-a became a chemist and eventually developed the world-renowned pesticide called "Deadly Schitt." Soon, billboards announced the famous slogan about her product -- "Got Bugs?  Let them eat Schitt and die."

Take-a Schitt moved to Japan to become a horticulturalist. Using a variant of her name, she developed a new species of mushrooms, called the "Schittake." She married Mr. Hooks, a Roto-Rooter executive, and they had several children. The Schitt-Hooks prospered for many years, but eventually went down the drain in a stock market crash.  Hometown newspapers reported the demise of the mushroom industry, but the article misquoted the company’s bankruptcy records and blamed “Schitt For Brains” as the cause of the failure, rather than the economy, and the Schitts sued.  The legendary case was eventually settled, and a new phrase was coined: “I’ll sue the Schitt out of you.” 

Crocka Schitt became a stand-up comedian. Because of his stage antics, he earned the nickname "Ape." Last year, Crocka Schitt fell while climbing a tree in his hometown of Shinola, MO, and landed in the middle of a PETA demonstration -- unhurt. I guess you could say that PETA had Schitt on themselves. Newspapers reported that Crocka was “one tough Schitt.”  The Six-O-Clock News, filming the event, promptly named the segment "Ape Schitt Falls From Tree -- PETA Breaks His Fall."  Well, as you might have guessed, that article attracted every girl from three counties away. Jealous husbands and boyfriends threatened to “shoot the Schitt.”  Fans flocked to see the event.  One admirer actually tore Crocka’s overalls and knocked him down.  The ensuing scuffle ended when Schitt hit the fan.

However, Ima Hooker, the female news anchor, was the one that caught the eye of Crocka Schitt.  She fell madly in love with Crocka, and they soon married. Ima Hooker was now Ima Schitt. Now a celebrity because of the news report, Crock-a Schitt moved with Ima back to her hometown, where he could have peace and quiet and raise a little Schitt every now and then. His plan worked. No one knew him there. When asked who he was, people would say "I don't know Schitt from Shinola." They eventually had four kids: Krappy Schitt, Ugglee Schitt, "Lucky" Schitt and Moe Schitt (who actually was named "Noe" after Jack's first wife, but was called "Moe" because of her haircut). Krappy was a feeble kid, and pretty much scared of everything. When ill, kids would often say that they were "Feeling Krappy" or "Sick as Schitt."   Likewise, when they were scared, they would say they “had the Schitt scared out of them,” or that they were “scared Schittless.”

Before long, the town had Schitt all over the place. As a matter of fact, they had more Schitt than they could handle. Lucky, the moneymaker of the family, created a deodorant empire, and for years used the slogan "Smell Like Schitt." His family later moved to Australia, where the slogan was changed to "Smell Like Schitt Down Under." When he lost his business in a card game, he was said to be "Schitt Out Of Luck."

Moe Schitt became a troublemaker. She was run out of town when the citizens put up signs saying "Get The Schitt Out Of Here." The Mayor finally declared that there was no way they could put up with Noe Moe Schitt.

Uglee Schitt married Buford Butt, and later was known as Uglee Butt. Using her maiden name, she opened a miniature donkey-breeding farm. Those little Schitt-Asses were famous throughout the county.

Uglee’s oldest son, Sacka Schitt, was an entrepreneur, of sorts.  Always on the lookout for an investment, Sacka earned the nickname “Owl,” when he became famous as a stock broker on Wall Street.  Ever the envy of his peers, he was always voted “Broker of the Year.”  Everyone said that to beat him, you’d have to be “slicker than Owl Schitt.”

Owl Schitt eventually left the hectic life of Wall Street and moved back home to start a family.  His first daughter, “Runny” Schitt, earned that nickname due to the fact that she couldn’t sit still, even when eating her Christmas dinner.  She was often the winner of all the county eating contests.  The judges always said that nothing was “faster than Schitt through a goose.”

The story doesn't end here, though. The Schitt children moved from place to place, and you'll probably run into some Schitt everywhere you look. Every summer, Jack Schitt contacts all of the family members for an annual get-together. He wants everyone show up, so he places ads in the local papers about the reunion, announcing "Get Your Schitt Together."

As you can tell, we are now in a world of Schitt. Now that all the Sh*t is cleared up, if anyone asks, YOU DO KNOW JACK SH*T.

[Editor’s Note:  By now, I hope you realize that I’ve just fed you a buncha Schitt.  I Schitt You Not ! ]
