I've had those sometimes, too. But mine are fast. I'll go to the toilet, and in about 2 seconds, swoosh! Then you look and see that it's almost a foot and a half long! All one piece, or perhaps bent/broken in two b/c of the size limit of the toilet bowl. I would stare and marvel. I felt like calling someone to come and see this amazing thing! - but who on earth would want to see that? But one time I did get my brother to come see, he's sorta my partner in poop. He was shocked, especially that it came out practically instantly! I sure assume they're a good sign, you'd better believe I felt great afterwards!
