That's kind of like asking, "How many squares of toilet paper am I going to need to wipe my *** after I take a ****?"

And an answer you might receive would be: What did you have to eat yesturday? Was it brick solid, solid but not firm, mustard brown soft, beer **** puff mud, or full-out liquid.
If full-out liquid, How would you rate the splash back?
If solid, was the exit with a blunt end or a slow taper? Was the taper firm or mustard brown soft?

lots of things to factor in on that one but anywhere from a day to the last 60e you will put in. But I am going with months to a few years.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Toostie-Roll Toostie Pop, I guess the world may never know………..LOL

Way too many variables!
