I played reuben in Escanaba in Da Moonlight.  In this play, my character was put under a trance and his father and brother both try to bring him out by wet methods.  A milkshake purported to contain the dried and powdered testicle of a full grown moose (milk, chocolate syrup, sprinkles and mini marshmellows) was poured in my mouth and a jar of "porkypine piss" (apple juice) was tossed in my face.  I had to show no reaction to either.  Their next plan (which works) was to plant my face between the buttocks of a sleeping compainion and allow him to break wind.  Try doing that with a straight face.

I know this is a popular play, but, now I am forever grateful I've never been involved with this show - and know know to avoid watching it as if it were the plague.

Am I really the last person on earth who DOESN'T find that kind of garbage funny?!
