And when you encounter poop, your obvious, common-sense inclination 
will be that this is a substance that needs to be disposed of.  And 
in normal circumstances this will be entirely correct.

But...

If you're a medical lab technician, you may need to analyze stool 
stamples to assist a doctor in making a diagnosis.

If you're a farmer, you may have cause to obtain manure in order to 
make use of it as fertilizer.

If you're a sewer maintenance worker, you and your work crew may need 
to get your hands dirty rooting around in the muck of others' poop in 
order to make a much-needed repair.

If you're an environmentalist, you may have public-policy opinions 
regarding the disposal of poop that differ from the commonly assumed 
methods used by contemporary civilization; for instance, you may 
think it ecologically superior to compost it rather than flush it 
away.

If you're writing an encyclopedia article on [[feces]], you may find 
yourself compelled to think and write more on the subject than the 
average person is likely to wish to read about.  You may even want to 
take a picture of the stuff to illustrate the article.

If you swallowed a valuable diamond ring, you might want to try to 
retrieve it from your other end, as gross as that is.

Simple, obvious, common-sense principles may not work in all cases as 
flat, exception-free rules.
