pretty much all you need to know from the article:
"consumption of escolar causes explosive, oily, orange diarrhea. People have reported that the discharges are often difficult to control and accidents can happen while passing gas. I personally know someone who ate an escolar steak one night, unaware of its side effects. The next day he was riding the elevator to his office when out of nowhere his bowels unleashed a surprise attack on his pants. As he said later, "Thank God I had my gym bag with me, which had a clean pair of underwear in it." This explains why escolar is also called the "olestra fish" and the "ex-lax fish."

Finally, a reason to have lunch with my former boss.

This happened to me once and only once I was freaked out to say the least.
When I am with someone that wants to order escolar I have to warn them but they think I am kidding, I just say its definitely natures joke on us.
