Everyone knows diarrhea is bad. Even God knows this, which is why so many boring parts of the Bible are devoted to the detailed and graphic punishments the nomadic desert tribes of the day had devised for the sick individuals who persisted in making diarrhea all over the Holy Land. All the way from antiquity to the modern and post-modern eras (except in the 70s, when it was cool and desirable for a few years), diarrhea has been known as one of the great scourges of history, as well as the unofficial 8th Deadly Sin. But it would be a mistake to think ordinary bland diarrhea-at-home-while-the-kids-are-sleeping is even close to as bad as it can get when we are talking about the Great Sludge or the Watery Grave of Butt Vengeance. No folks, if you’ve made it this far in life then you know it can always get much, much worse.

Thanks to a combination of Bible Study and an algorithm so advanced it’s been known to kill just for the thrill of it, we here at the Shocker have been able to compile a list of the absolute worst times to fall prey to the Bubonic Shit Flood. Please be advised: Reading this list won’t build character so much as reveal it.
