'he shat himself' - the person got very, very scared Hope this helps!!! Veg of ur sAndwich mayte! :-) yrs- ago- my bro and i and friends went on this canoe ride- so b4 we could be assigned our space we had to sign the form that we would not sue.....my bro signed the form "Indiana Jones" -- i might add the venue was turkey run state park-outside of indinaopolis indiana.
