Twenty years ago I was at Poly. One of my mates was on a computing course and doing well. He had a mysterious interest in poo. Didn't want to do things with it, but all his favourite jokes and stories seemed to be poo related. He even used to keep us amused with a beautifully rendered cartoon strip about the adventures of "Super Sid the Shuffling Shit".
The farmhouse we all lived in had an outside loo and he was overjoyed when he discovered that you could lift up a paving slab and watch the freshly flushed turds hurrying past.
As a first year project he had to write a program that made one of those Wordsearch puzzles. Needless to say he had a version of it with more words for shit and shitting buried in it than I'd ever seen before.
He now works for Microsoft.
