Wow. That’s really interesting, though I feel bad for the interns who had to collect the data.

In my old town of Vallejo, one of city workers blamed Filipinos in an area for pouring grease down the drain for sewage problems in the neighborhood. The good news is they held a food festival to show that their food is not that greasy and tasty too.

“Sewage Census” is my new band name.

I’m hoping our album will be number two on the charts.

It’s like they say: shit for the lifestyle you want, not the one you have.

Is that the album with seven tracks? I may have some cover artwork for you. Just remove the title here, and insert the band name: “Sewage Census”
bsc

(Sorry, too lazy to do it myself.)

I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take their cr@p anymore!

Had a roommate once who speculated that the rich had their feces gracefully plucked out of toilets by doves and ceremoniously flown away. Granted, that’s an extreme view… but his logic was that the rich could afford specially-trained doves.

So the dystopian future will actually have the potential to include a class of people who think their shit don’t stink; and are correct? Who’s created equal now, huh proles?

Oh brave new world…

My only “rich poop” story involves stool about a day and a half after drinking all the material at the bottom of a bottle of goldschlager in college.

Much to my disbelief, it reared its glittery head like the proverbial corn. Much to my roomates’ chagrin they had neither peace nor quiet until they gazed upon the wonder.

Vaguely Ayn Randian, no?

I think I shared this here before but it’s useful again!
