That might not necessarily be a bad thing.
To my knowledge, he's the only to not go crazy, go broke, become a thief, or go to jail.
Pras should be enjoying the royalties he received from his time with the group even though he contributed next to nothing to their success.

Baby Wipes Clogging Sewer Systems In Smaller MN Towns
June 25, 2013 6:04 PM
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Cleaning wipes for babies are becoming increasingly popular, and some are even labeled “flushable.”
But for a number of small communities in Minnesota, so many wipes are getting flushed that they are clogging up local sewer systems.
In the tiny town of Avon, Utilities Superintendent Jon Forsell checks the sewer pumps every day. The reading on this day is good. Many times, Forsell has had to open up the sewer cover, bring in a crane and pull away wipes that are clogging pumps. Forsell said the wipes are difficult to extract.
“When these are wet and wound around something they are incredibly strong. You cannot tear them with your hands,” Forsell said.
A representative for Kimberly Clarke said itmanufactures
both flushable and non-flushable wipes, and that their flushable wipes are safe to flush.
But Bob Brand, the director of external communications for Kimberly Clarke, went onto say consumersneed to read labels of the wipes they buy to see if they really can be flushed down the toilet.
The City of Avon has sent out a flyer to all residents telling them not to flush any of their wipes. Officials said replacing one of their sewage pumps costs $16,000. The city administrator said especially for small communities, the stakes are high.
“If you have ongoing unexpected expenses, it blows the budget for a small community,” Jim Thares said.
Forsell’s advice is simple.
“The only product that should be going down the toilet is toilet paper,” he said.
The City of Avon said if left unchecked, the wipe problem could get so bad it could shut down their entire sewer system.

A shower after each shit is not an effective use of my time.

If they did away with flushable wipes, my life could never go back to what it once was.
I would need to be put in a home to be weened off gradually.
A sponge bath after every poo would help with the adjustment, so long as it's carried out by a courteous nurse.
