Placid, and yet there were no strangers nearby

With only moments to go before the authorities get that door open, I am compelled to reveal my grudging respect for the decision you three have just taken. I mean, Freddy, you came up with the idea, so credit for quick thinking does go to you, but Jay's got to be commended for giving such vocal, strong approval, and enabling a good plan can be considered just as valuable as daring to dream it up at all. Of course, we must recognize Jan's eagerness to the first off the block, which, in turn, committed the group to following through in the best spirit of "all for one, and one for all." In high-stress situations like this, hasty execution of a desperate course of action is the only path available, and for what it's worth, if I was a man that'd busted a door down and captured a roomful of people, I would certainly be put off to discover that several of them had loaded their trousers with fresh crap right before I came in. I might not be so shocked that I'd let you escape, but I'd say that your success will depend on how delicate the sensibilities of state troopers are in this neck of the woods. Honestly, that's even money.

Incidentally, in case this is the stupidest idea ever, I do intend to keep my pants clean. You probably don't know this, but I have some traumatic experiences with diaper rash that I don't intend to relive. Either way, I wish you the best of luck; up till now, it's been great.
