I believe that was so tongue-in-cheek as to pretty obvious ... but apparently you didn't pick up on it.

There are a lot of nonsense comments posted; it hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. the uninformed from the delusional.

Fresh out of a 4-year stint in the Coast Guard I took a job for the summer before returning to college driving a truck pumping out Sani-Johns. All went well (?) until one day I pulled into the ground level of a new shopping center under construction and commenced pumping out the Sani-Johns. I had already made other stops so the tank was filling up. After a few minutes of pumping nearby construction workers began to shout at me. When I turned around, I saw that the pump had malfunctioned and was dumping the contents of the tank on the concrete floor! Not exactly an explosion, but I faced an army of ticked off construction workers.

Last year, on a trip to Reno, I was working my way through traffic and ended up boxed in behind a septic truck that had aquamarine mist blowing off it.

Hung out there for maybe a minute or so, nothing was opening up and the smell was coming through the vents.

It was just about time for wipers.

I decided enough of this shit and went for the emergency lane.

I can report, it wasn't that hard to wash off.

When I was young a neighbor worked for a company that had those portable potties that are put on construction sites; he drove the pump truck that cleaned them out. He hurt his ankle real bad and had to take a couple weeks off to let it heal and I was recruited to do the job while he was off. The equipment was shotty to say the least and it kinda disgusted me, because the dump valve was within reach of you by just reaching out the window and it would drip; and it was dripping raw sewage. I reported it to the company and they could care less leaving me to being in trouble if a cop ever pulled me over; so I decided that the fact I was only doing this for a couple of weeks, and didn't care, I didn't either. So I just went on hoping I didn't pulled over on it. One day (this was during the summer) when I stopped at a red light, a car pulled up next to me with the passenger window open and had a middle aged woman in it. She looked over and saw the dripping sewage and started yelling at me about it leaking. She said I can't fool her, she could smell it. She then threatened to have me arrested and all the usual road rage BS. Not caring if this this company got caught, actually I was hoping that she would report them, I just looked at her, smiled, and reached back to the valve like I was going to open it and said to her: "may I give you a fill up of the sweet smelling honey dipping poopy scooper" and acted like was going to open the valve. (If I had, it would have gone right in her window, she had the car lined up perfectly for it.) She got the scariest look on her face and without thinking or looking floored her car and ran right through the red light. Luckily, no one was coming the other way. All I could think was, how dumb can one be.... and then they breed! Never heard a word of it later.
