An OUNCE ????  Are you kidding??  An ounce would blow the whole 
stall down.  I take it you've never made or used ammonium triodide.
It works much better painted as a film on a doorknob but a few swipes
of slurry on a toilet seat should be a blast.

My favorite toilet trick used to be to take some metallic potassium
and (with rubber gloves) stick it under the rim of a toilet.  A
real blast !!!  Especially in the womens' bathroom with flush-while-
sitting users.  I can still see the girl running out of the bathroom
with her panties around her ankles and smoke comming out from
under her dress  :-)
