usually the conversation is more elevated

From the weeders in the strawberry field this morning...

"I saw some scat over there."
"Deer?"
"I think so. Did you know that 'scatology' is the study of scat?"
"Ha ha."
"Yeah, I majored in that in college."
"And escatology is the study of the end times... when the scat hits the fan, so to speak."
