A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

When I was about 4, I used to believe that when people flushed the toilet, their pee and poop went into the sewer (as I had been told)--only I imagined that the sewers were these huge subterranean tunnels with conveyor belts running through them. I thought that the conveyor belts were loaded with all the stuff people flushed and that workers with rubber gloves stood on either side of the conveyor belt sorting everything out and picking out the best pieces of poop. I wasn't sure what qualified as the "best" pieces, but I figured that was part of the job training.
