… so it doesn't poop all over your office

The other day I caught a fragment of a conversation, namely somebody concluding a sentence with the clause “… so it doesn’t poop all over your office”. I don’t know what they were talking about and I’m not sure I want to find out.

(Ry Jones thinks I was the victim a game of tomato funeral. I’m not convinced; it was a conversation that I had been drifting in and out of at the lunch table. I just picked a bad time to drift back in.)

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
