[MD] Shit Happens. What to do?

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Krimel and all,

I was raised on a farm and horseshit, cowshit, bullshit, pigshit,
outhouseshit, chickenshit rabbitshit ratshit and mouseshit (a little shit)
was all put in a manure spreader to put on the field to help the wheat grow.
I guess what I take from "Shit Happens" is what you do with it, besides
playing with it.
