Let me guess: nuns slapping the hysterical woman? Inflating the autopilot?
I am guessing it is the literal depiction of excrement striking the blades of the rotating air moving device...
Yes...smell not included.
I read about a study on one of the space shuttles. The excrement was going to be freeze dried so it could be studied and a comparison done of the minerals going in with the minerals coming out. The excrement was going to be scattered on a wall, freeze dried, then studied later. The problem was when the excrement hit the fan, it did not scatter.

What did they expect, with a diet of toothpaste-like food from a tube?

You should rename Ceram to Saran, so the Japs will wrap around it.

PI: Many sweeps and bomber raids over Clark and Batan, the island. We have some success unloading supplies by AK on Mindanao and Batan Is but the air transport effort to Luzon results in the loss of 7 planes.

Don't give Cap any ideas. Not like he needs an excuse to get 'bombed'.

We are already using bombers made from aluminum to foil their plans of world domination.
