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!

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.

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