<grin> Reminds me of the parasitology lecture I was in where the lecturer
had flicked onto a slide showing someone bent over a hospital bed, with
their entire worm load being ejected from their anus after a dose of worming
powder (in approximate terms, half a bucket full...)... The lecturer
described what was going on, in great detail. He then looked about, flicked
back to the previous, non-icky, slide and said "Oh, by the way, you don't
have to look at the next slide if you're squeamish".

The words "horse" "door" "shut" and "bolted" all came to mind at that point.
Three people had already run out the door and several more were looking
rather green...
