I was behind one on the road a few years ago. he hit a pot hole and about a half gallon of his business hit my windshield. The cute name did not amuse me then.

I just saw a truck on Friday for a service that goes around picking up dog poo (how much money can there be in that?).<snip>

I don’t know about the potenital income but I do know there is/was at least one enterprising outfit that sells franchises for the doggy doo pickup industry.

Nope, central Wisconsin.
And I was surprised that “S**t” had become acceptable as advertising in our rather conservative locale, where many still object to newspaper or billboard ads for ‘family planning’ because it would be embarrassing to have to explain to the children what that meant.

It passes because everyone poops, but as we all well know, nobody has sex, ever.

Which brings us to the moral of this thread; * Don’t tailgate the shit-truck.*
Seen outside an undertaker’s place ( in Mumbai ,India)
" People are dying for our services" !
:eek:
Thanks postcards - I found that as well, but am holding out for the ESSAY OF DOOM.

If that’s so, and if noone else can empty my septic tank besides your company, I will certainly hire you.
Just don’t breath on me. Or touch me.
And don’t smile at me either. I don’t want to see your teeth.
In fact, just mail me the bill after the job is done. And call to tell me if there’s anything I need to know.
Ick.

Sounds quite like a short story by (IIRC) Asimov or Clarke.
Our local hauler has “We’re #1 in the #2 business” on all of his honey wagons. Always gives me a chuckle when I see them on the highway.
Variations of the saying from the OP have gone the rounds among sewage (now wastewater) treatment plant operators. I’ve even seen it translated into Latin, although they used the word ‘oil’ on the grounds that ancient Latins did not use butter.
Sounds to me like they’re full of s**t.

Fuelled by my BIDNESS ACUMEN, I tell Mr. Ujest alls about THIS GREAT IDEA I HAVE and I have a NAME FOR IT (A most *critical * element.) ( Which I cannot recall exactly what it is at this moment, but it WAS GOOD and something like *Poopie B Gone * or Doody Calls.But, it was better!
[/QUOTE]
Doody calls? DOODY CALLS? It can’t get better than that. I’d hire you right now.

This is why I love the Dope. The first thing I thought of when I read QtM’s post was, ‘Hey, I want to read that essay!’ And someone has helpfully beaten me to asking for it.
How about it, QtM? Your fans await!
