  -> thanx, I didn't want to sound like I'm saying that because it's my suggestion!

  -> thanx

agree  Edward Plaisance Jr: if you want to be less "graphic" you can say "so the crap wouldn't hit the fan" That would depend on the social environment where it is used...
11 hrs
  -> agreed but I've heard the more graphic equivalent in movies, so naturally I thought It should be more common,then again you're the expert :)
