[QUOTE=Indistinguishable] My impression, formed from several years of observation of these sorts of threads, is that, were a poll taken of all members to find the funniest post in SDMB history, “The horror of blimps” would come out the best-remembered favorite by far [/QUOTE] It’s important to note that many in that classic thread suggested publication of the OP, and [it was in fact published](http://www.roadandtravel.com/adventuretravel/blimp.htm). ---

There was a thread I wouldn’t begin to know how to search for. I think the OP had asked for stories about pooping on oneself. The post that stands out in my memory (though I don’t remember the name of the poster, for which she might be grateful) related how she had an episode of explosive diarrhea in the shower. It was a _scream._ Anyone know the thread I’m talking about? ---

Oh, what a lovely Sunday afternoon of reading to enjoy! The power, oh, the power… the power of the thread is amazing. I can’t believe I went into the bedroom, found a ring, and stuck it in my nose. (My wedding ring wouldn’t come off my finger.) Honey, the sapphire and diamond ring I got for Christmas? The pretty, pretty one? It fits in my nose! ---

As funny as “Blimps” is, [this hyopthetical situation thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289696&highlight=shoot+kill+situation) is the funniest to me. Especially since it was offered straight up - no humor intended. ---
