The container
I was intrigued. It couldn't really be... Could it?
Off goes the lid.
Definitely something brown.
Oh my god grandpa
The ultimate dad-joke.
He made it himself, too.

I bet he had an empty cardboard box on his shelf with the letters " M " & " T " written on it.

I would not have dared to open it.

I was thinking it was going to be weed.
LazyBrazilian
When he pulled it out, I thought it was three joints cleverly hidden under a thingamabob.
szepasszony
Damn, I can't remember the last time I saw a film canister.
airlynx99
Can only imagine picking that up and rattling it then imagining the dried up crusty old turd inside, props on having the courage to check
WACOMalt
My grandpa made these too! :D
swisskisser
I was a medical lab tech in the Army. Oh what joy this little item would have brought me . . . HOORAY for grandpas!

BojackTheHorsemanDontActLikeYouDontKnow
Is that a milking stool for ants??!?!!
Hypercube9
You shouldn't milk your aunt. It's not polite.
jackieisnotmyname
It was very brave of you to open it
fragmentedfire
Plot twist: it's made of poop.
Dismang
fun fact when i was young we were moving out and my sister found a rock and thought it was from my collection, i didnt recognize it
Dismang
and i smelled it and yelled its a cat turd. Then she went full on little miss priss, started screaming and we had fun laughing at her.
Dismang
to be fair it was really old and was literally hard as a rock
HeyOhBotchedToe
I want to be clear: That upvote is for Gramps, not you, OP. Gramps made me chortle. You... you're just a weird little poop investigator.
Linearnova
My grandpa made what he called a "3-piece chicken dinner" it was a small wooden box with a lid. When you opened the lid it was just (1/2)
NoTrumpEver
Aww cute!
Linearnova
(2/2) 3 kernels of corn.
Hayatev3
Wow I haven't seen a film container in AGES. Now I feel old
SvarvSven
I feel ya.
lyricallove
That's what it is! I knew it was familiar. P.S. I'm 26.
ColonelSheepshanks
Welp- I know what I'm making at work tomorrow.
hothotpapa
A stool sample, or a *stool sample*?
ColonelSheepshanks
Both!
NakedTurtles
I think I'm gonna do the same!
koenema3
My late grandfather made these and distributed then around Knoxville. He loved seeing others smile.
NakedTurtles
I had never seen one before. I'm glad others are passing around the joy! He sounds like he was a good guy.
koenema3
I am a lurker, but I should make a post of all of his "hillbillies"
Whoevenneedaname
How is that joke supposed to work. I mean, who finds a container labeled stool sample and is like hey I should totally look inside.
MarshmallowBlue
Curiosity kills the cat, or, opens the poop.

wiscokid44
Working at Kmart back in the day, an old man asked me to take his stool sample to the pharmacy. This joke ensued. Ultimate dad joke.
JustSayinIsAll
But @op did, didn't he?
eyeLied
probably not
Whoevenneedaname
I guess I shouldn't have said who. I should have said what kind of person.
NauticalPhoenix
The brave and the bold.
CatlitterDaily
The kind that reads imgur
cbotce
The OP kind of person
NecronomiKane
A shitty one.
NiceTimeIsland

the truth hurts right?
ITryToOnlyRespondInGifs
Dude everyone knows people put weed in those old film containers. It's common knowledge, unless you live under a rock. Or on a high horse.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
Because that's where grandpa keeps his 1000$ bills!
lyricallove
I legit thought this dude was about to find a lot of money.
MarshmallowBlue
There's always money in the banana stand.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
"There's always money in the stool sample" does have a ring to it...
Figuritot
It takes a special kind of person.

First you train your offsprings not to be pussies...#4 Profit!!!
MurtBaclinBFI
Dude that's exactly what happened
Deliciouspuppymeat
You have to know your target audience. You leave it knowing your kids or grandkids are weird enough to look in a stool sample jar
exponentiallymusical
Because who keeps stool samples in their own house?
hexxorlord
someday someone will open it
Joonbugs92
I've seen those a few times. Usually they are in prescription bottles, so you can see through to the inside where the mini stool is.
Caldaque
I work in a lab and a couple years back I had an older fella come in with one of these and give it to us when he was turning in some 1
Caldaque
specimens for us to test. We laughed because he thought it was clever. Also "The Far Side" has a comic strip to this effect.
Branch68
people see wet paint sings and have to touch to confirm it is wet
EastCoastMC
Well we're morbidly curious
eetsumkaus
someone who knows their grandpa is a craftsman who is incredibly fond of dad jokes
fetchezlavache
It probably rattled when moved, which is suspicious for a stool sample :p
almostsomething182
Or just a really poor diet
barrbluej
Old and dried out?
TheInfamousSwissCheeseMasturbator
Just like grandpa.
TitsMcGregor
I'd have to look at a rattley poop. I need to know.
eetsumkaus
as a dog owner, can confirm poop gets rattley when it gets old
EverybodyGetsABrandNewUpvote
All three of the other pet owners should gather together and make a mariachi band with their collections.
barrbluej
I want to point out that @spammy172 did not specify that they own a pet
bectothefuture
Uhhh he totally wanted to see some doodie that's why
PedanticGonkDroid
I have one in a clear prescription bottle. The surprise element is gone, but it works more consistently. Also not labeled, so that helps.
EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind
I would, because who the hell keeps an old stool sample in their house? Super suspicious. I'd assume it's labeled that to keep people out.
AStealthyRaisin
Who doesn't? It is obviously a ploy...
Perfzilla
5/7 Imgurians don't know what that canister originally held.
photog
I'm that 2/7.
Tanntabo
Most likely poop.
SensibleChuckleNorris
The canister sends its regards. Plop.

I just found four of these containers in my stuff the other day...complete with unused film.
Joestopbeinggay
They sell for a lot now

WHAT? That's bananas...but also kind of neat
MoldyKumquat
Thanks. Thanks for reminding I'm old and going to die alone.

Cocoa powder to mix with the little box of Milk you got at school

Nah bitch, cocoa powder doesn't dissolve fast enough. Gotta get that Nesquik shit!
rizowski

Those film canisters are the best to make rockets using effervescent tablets and water...place cap down for max distance.

7/5 Don't know about the old-style aluminum, screw-top ones, either.
DeathToSwans
Oh man this is a long con. I want to have these types of things all over my place when I'm a grandpa.
Whoevenneedaname
Every once in a while you should leave some real stool in one. You know, just to keep it lively.

Even better, hide valuable stuff in them, but only the ones with real shit in it
Calamay
My grandpa had a tiny, pencil-written message on the edge of his workbench. I checked it out and it said "What did you expect to read?"

Get the 3-piece chicken meal. Open up the container, it's three prices of corn.

Whatever colon/rectum/sphincter produced that might want to get examined. Looks pretty serious.
