A story like this is why I rarely find academic satire . . . satirical, or funny. My response so often amounts to: "That doesn't sound outlandish; that could happen." In this case, it did, I'm sorry to see. Whew! And you survived it, just as you say.
Imagine being the phantom shitter’s therapist...Great story. As long as there isn’t shit on the table I’ll get through everything too. Thanks Mary!
Thank you, Genevieve—this comment made me laugh aloud!

I know exactly what you mean, Tom! And I wasn’t even that surprised when my colleague told me *his* conference horror story!
