I read this as: “Or face mass **defecations** from your movement.”

All in all, that’s a very funny statement and resultant mental picture, especially in light of the nature of the thread.

Hey, I tried earwax once, in kindergarten. I was sitting in the back of the room, bored right out of my skull, idly contemplating the outsize nugget I’d just extracted from my left ear, when I had an epiphany to the effect that anything which looks so much like caramel must _taste_ like it, too.

Trust me, it doesn’t.

In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t have the same sort of idea while contemplating another bodily product that bears an uncanny resemblance to chocolate.
