Once, my friend mashed a few tootsie rolls together and put on the ground. When his grandma walked in, he said, "Look, grandma, the dog made a mess on the floor!" He then proceeded to put up the "poo" and eat it. I don't remember if his grandma only screamed or if she fainted too. Later, he explained to her that the "poo" really was just a bunch of tootsie rolls mashed together. She was so relieved (inadvertent puns go brrrr).
