Paul McCartney and Wife Linda Sent Journalist Baby's Poop as Revenge
Once upon a time, a famous musician named Paul McCartney and his wife Linda were touring with their band.
A reporter said he would write a story about their travels, so Paul let him see everything.
But the reporter didn't even go to their concert!
Instead, he wrote a mean story about the show that wasn't true.
Paul and Linda were very upset.
They decided to send the reporter a funny, but gross, surprise.
They took some poop from their baby daughter Stella's diaper, put it in a soap dish, and mailed it to him.
It was their way of showing the reporter he had been bad and that they didn't like being tricked.
Paul and Linda McCartney sent a British journalist a piece of their baby's poop.
This was in retaliation for the journalist publishing a negative concert review without attending.
The incident occurred in 1972, as detailed in Paul McCartney's book 'Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run'.
The journalist had initially promised a feature story on the band's life on the road.
The McCartneys used a dirty diaper from their baby daughter, Stella, for their unconventional response.

Paul McCartney
Bassist and keyboardist in The Beatles, and member of Wings
“I’m so very happy to be transported back to the time that was Wings and relive some of our madcap adventures through this book. Starting from scratch after The Beatles felt crazy at times. There were some very difficult moments, and I often questioned my decision. But as we got better, I thought, ‘OK, this is really good.’ We proved Wings could be a really good band.”
