Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 03, 2020

He used to be in charge of draining the swamp.

Good point – whatever “half” one belives in, the other half always sucks.

Half empty or half full is meaningless unless you define both the fluid and the container.

If anyone disagrees with this statement, go put four ounces of gasoline into an eight ounce styrofoam cup.

Most everything these days sucks, so you’ve got a lot of company.

If you guys aren’t too busy, I know some people who are completely full.

Looks like Twitter is cleaning its servers.

I have to salute those guys, working all day doing that job and still able to go home and eat dinner.

Let’s hope his cup not runneth over.

Swamp practice?

pam Miner I left you a link yesterday

The guy that promised to “drain the swamp” should have that job. ( permanently while wearing an orange jumpsuit )

Used to see a pumping truck who’s motto was “Your waste is our bread and butter”.

Nobody sticks their nose in my business.

There’s a poop sucking truck in my area with the caption on the side: Nobody sticks their nose in our business.

“Warning: This Truck Contains Political Promises!”

Wish I could remember the comedian that tells the story of a guy in a porta-john on a construction site when the “honey dipper” showed up. It’s been a long time and since then, I’ve always called those trucks “honey dippers”!:-)

My ex-boss has a recycling business his motto is “Business is picking up. We talk trash.”

Just because the word suck is in the title, how do we know it is actually picking up instead of dumping? Could be government obfuscation. After all, Buttercup’s output has to go somewhere, doncha know.

We have one with the motto “Burning fuel and sucking stool”. Nice guys, prompt and efficient. Great job security.

Well now there is a career opportunity they don’t talk much about in those career counselor meetings. Oddly enough, they aren’t wearing masks.

When those fellas visit the job sight I stand up and cheer them on, but wouldn’t want to be stuck behind them in traffic.

If it be GOP gaslighting or GOP gassing American citizens it’ll be highly flammable as well.

Maybe Justin Trudeau could send us some Canadian assistance from Rothschild’s Sewage and Septic Sucking Services: “Service with a smile, even on hot days”.

Say – is that Rothschild’s Septic Sucker Service?!

Helped me Pa muck out the school cistern once. Still have a little trouble with drinking fountains.

He’ll take an awful lot of …

In 1977 and 1978 I had a truck driving job delivering porta-potties, (brand new from the factory, thank goodness) to regional sanitation contractors all over the east U.S. and Canada. A lot of them had punny names and slogans not too different from the one on that truck. I got the same old jokes at every truck stop and weigh station.

I once saw a sign posted on a service company marquee. “Septic Tanks Pumped. Swimming Pools Filled. Not the same truck.”

I always loved the sign on the back of a septic pump truck in Arizona that said: “Satisfaction Guaranteed or Double Your Sewage Back!”

I knew I guy in Sarasota, Fla. that owned a business that supplied and serviced Port-a-Potties. The sign on one of his pump trucks read " To you, it smells like sh*t, but to me, it smells like money! "

One of the ones I encountered was “We’re No. 1 in a No. 2 business.”

One Southern Calfornia business makes a unit that keeps this need down to an absolute minimum..

Like the man said, “Life is like a septic tank. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.”

I had a longshoreman friend whose side job was plumbing. He told me that he’d pretty regularly wake up in a cold sweat from the same nightmare: He’d hear the phone ringing, and reach out to pick it up, and hear himself say “Roto Rooter, how may we help you?”

As for me, all I know about plumbing is summed up in three rules that are still universally true:

1: Shit runs down hill

2: Wash your hands BEFORE you eat lunch

3: Payday’s Friday

Reading all the clever comments is exhausting. I’m pooped!

Touché!

There is nothing more universal, and, it ain’t ever going to change. Dates have no effect on issues, just definitions sources.
