Hi Nathan,,

Well it wasn't really a case of constipation, same colour though! It was
more like being hit by a blast of liquefied  cow dung!

Totally unexpected until the explosion hit! :-) One might say it was some
what death defying alright, certainly the odor! :-) It and me after. Imagine
me getting on the elevator at the hotel, I'm first on, others went to follow
but exited immediately with very strange expressions ! :-)

Never been inside a barn since! :-)
