I have no experience with flaming poo. I just thought, “What could be worse than liquid poo? Hmm…the only thing worse would be flaming poo.” and that is how I came to that determination, simply because then not only is it gross but it is also destructive and will leave your home smelling of burnt poo. Seriously, worst kind of possible poo ever.

Even worse would be poo that is both flaming and liquid. You know, like napalm poo. Or ‘napoolm’.

[anecdote]

When I was in college in the later 80’s (job market BAD BAD!) a coworker at my college job graduated and so went to Denver to look for a job (I htink he had family there). He looked for 6 MONTHS and couldn’t find a job. He was beginning to prepare to come back.

He then called…all excited.

“I FOUND A JOB”!

Cool! What is it?

“It’s for the state unemployment office…I will help people find jobs!”
