Hitting The Fan

Written by Chris P Bohn


Inrepparttar past people have occasionally accused me of talking shit. But nobody can say I'm not serious about my subject. In fact you could say I have a Masters degree in coprology! In recent months I have been busy writing a paper (toilet paper, obviously) entitled "What Really Happens Whenrepparttar 118255 Shit Hitsrepparttar 118256 Fan ?". Clearly one needs to define one's terms and my approach was as scientific as it could be.

Firstly I decide to confine my researches to three types of fan:

i) Electric fans ii) Cricket and/or football fans (depending on which one is in season atrepparttar 118257 time) and iii) Hand held fans i.e. Ofrepparttar 118258 kind which is fluttered by demure young ladies in period dramas

Secondly there was a need to be able to grade various kinds of shit according to size, weight, malleability and viscosity. This requiredrepparttar 118259 use of expensive scientific instruments and so I equipped myself with -

electronic scales, a pestle and mortar, an engineer's measure, a sieve, packet of rubber gloves shower cap and safety glasses (call me a fashion victim if you like. It's my choice.)

I set up a standard desktop fan (this one had a safety grille which, although removable, I chose to leave on forrepparttar 118260 purposes ofrepparttar 118261 experiment). I then ate six cans of a discount brand of baked beans and sat down to watch some old Boris Karloff movies. The horror films hadrepparttar 118262 desired effect and within ten minutes I was shitting myself with fear (OK so I'm a scaredy cat too, so what?). Shortly thereafter I was busy gathering what we shall term "material" in readiness for experiment numero uno.

The fan was switched onto its highest setting (moderate breeze or number one onrepparttar 118263 Beaufort scale for any budding meteorologists reading this). I rolledrepparttar 118264 first turd* and verified its weight as 200 grammes or about half a pound if you are still using NASA units of measurement. I then firedrepparttar 118265 missile from a distance of ten feet using a modified crossbow (patent pending) designed by yours truly (talented or what?). The "chocolate cannonball" hitrepparttar 118266 fan absolutely dead centre. Approximately twenty percent of its mass clung torepparttar 118267 outside ofrepparttar 118268 safety grille. Eighty percent reachedrepparttar 118269 blades.

And a staggering one hundred percent was flung off intorepparttar 118270 office whererepparttar 118271 tests were being conducted. I apologised torepparttar 118272 executives inrepparttar 118273 immediate vicinity and retired for a shower.

Followingrepparttar 118274 first experiment, office based tests had to be put on hold for a temporary period. There were three main problems. Firstly it was proving very difficult to get funding for my experimental endeavours. Usually when you request financial support for work ofrepparttar 118275 kind which I do, people think you are talking out of your arse. I suppose they are right in a way . . . Secondly there were some technical refinements to attend to; certain brands of beans result in missiles of far too watery a consistency. And thirdly there was an ongoing legal problem. Something to do with an office manager's dry cleaning bill and my reply that he had signed a waiver and had been given plenty of prior warning of all possible consequences. It annoys me. It really does. They all want free publicity inrepparttar 118276 local press but as soon as anything goes wrong they don't want to know you.
