I picked up another chunk of wood and wiped the sawdust off my nose and lip and started to work. Umm what was that strange taste in my mouth and what is sticking to my lip and nose, ALSO what is smelling like dog poo around here? Arrrgh, there was puppy dog poo next to the log and I'd scooped it up with my gloved hand with the log and wiped it over my mouth.

It wasn't bad, tasted a bit like a muesli bar - not that I would recommend it if you are hungry.

So when I hear the joke "Looks like dog poo, smells like dog poo, tastes like dog poo. Good thing I didn't stand in it." I know exactly what they are talking about.
