toilet charity drive

The quicker picker-upper

Posted 03.13.2006 by scatoman
When I was a kid, I was supposed to scour our back garden for canine crap and dump it into the chemical toilet we had planted in the corner of the yard. But that rarely happened. I didn't see a problem with clearing the lawn once a week, but my mum would complain about stepping in shit when hanging clothes on the line and bitch about having to clean it up herself -- "You said you'd look after the dog, but I end up doing it all!"

If Curt Gilling had lived in my small English town, I might have been able to continue my idle bastard ways *and* spare my mother the indignity of scooping the poop.

Although with perhaps a less sophisticated approach than Ellen of No More Poop, Gilling, a self-styled "entremanure," makes his living clearing up dogshit with his company Safe Step. Simple as that.

Sounds good, right?

What's even better is that I had the privilege of seeing him in action last Saturday after my wife and I decided to drop in on my father-in-law. He wasn't there, so we let ourselves in and watched a bit of TV while we waited for his return. Imagine this PoopReporter's delight when, flicking channels, the story of the Ordure Orderly from Oklahoma came on the screen!

Gilling has been in the business (ho ho!) for nearly five years, and has done himself alright, thank you very much. He owns two motorbikes and has a fancy work truck. He's also not short of a ready quip about his line of work. "People ask me how business is, I says it's pickin' up."

For a craftsman of Gilling's stature, cleaning up people's gardens isn't the only part of the operation. He takes great pride in his work, as evidenced by the special disinfectant he uses to treat his utensils (a small lawn rake and a box-dustpan on a stick!) after each job. He is also a member of the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists: aPaws.

Damn! There's an organization for everything, these days, isn't there? They even have a Pooper Scoopers' Convention. Take a look at the schedule -- it could be from something as lofty as a top doctors' convention. There's even a meet and greet! I can imagine Curt propping up the bar and regaling the chicks with tales of his two hogs whilst a room full of his peers shoot the shit.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

That guy clearly looks like one who will Take No Shit Off Anybody. You said he owned two motorbikes, so I'll bet on the back of his tee-shirt, it says, "If you can read this, the bitch fell off."

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.13.2006

I think I prefer, "If you can read this, my bitch is riding the another hog."

Oink oink-- piece out....

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.13.2006

oops

....riding another hog."

If you can read shit, you are in the shitting zone.

...If you can read this, I can hit my brakes and shit on you.

KOC--

I'm sure that somewhere in the recesses of your grey matter this made sense when you typed it. For the larger populus, the comments you provide are an argument for:

1) PRIVATE SCHOOLING
2) SCHOOLING AT THE SCHOOL OF BRAILLE
3) GOVERNMENT-SUBSIDIZATION FOR THOSE WHO PURSUE A JURIS DEGREE

Can that guy in the picture be the official poster child for disgusting people? Whoever is in charge let me know if I can reference him at a later time. Or can we give him an affectionate nickname like The Doggy Doody Duty Dooer? It would mean a lot to me and I haven't asked for much.

Dear Rat Droppings:

What do you expect a guy who picks up shit for a living to look like? Not everybody in the Poop World can be as studly as Dave, or TBW, or Bunga, or....

Poop Shooter (597) -- 03.13.2006

I wonder if I pick up dog poop in my back yard if Mrs.Shooter will buy me a new motor-bike?

I love seeing people that take ordinary menial tasks and make a living out of it. Heck, there is nobody in my aera that picks up poo, so I guess I could start up a poopy business aro und here. Hmmmm I wonder what he charges for a yard. Like $20 per pound of dook would not be too bad. Unless you had a little yippie dog that put out teeny weeny turds.

RD, you can call him whatever you want, but I personally think he looks like he's about to puke in that picture; he doesn't look so tough to me.

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.13.2006

I'm laughing so hard y'all are making me fart! KOC, sorry if I hurt your poo pride.

RD, there's a line for poster children garnering national attention. KOC is a misunderstood artist.

TD, I bow to your studly (and charming) persona that is "The Dumpster."

PS, me too! Love the fact that entrepoonoors can "clean up" per se! I needed that comic relief and my newfound poo pals came through.

AB2K: The puckered forehead combined with squinted eyes and jutting jaw (trying to hold back the soured feeling in his mouth) just says it all...

Re: Puckered forehead - One thing I forgot to mention about Gilling's head is that his whole skull looks as if it has been beaten to a hammered finish with a...erm...hammer. I don't think it was just the outside broadcast conditions being unflattering, either. He's quite an odd-looking chap.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 03.14.2006

Evidently a ball-peen hammer, Scat?

(Great story, BTW--forgot to say that earlier, because it just comes with the Scatoman territory.)

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 03.14.2006

No wonder he's making a living picking up crap. Look at him. If a guy that looked like that walked up to your door and said, "I'm going to clean the dog shit off your yard and you're going to pay me $20 bucks to do it," would you refuse?

The Dumpster (2506) -- 03.14.2006

Not if I valued my thumbs.

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.14.2006

Yup, Just ask the now-slightly-limping folderols who posed the same question regarding painting letters on my curb.

I've got templates and spray paint, thank you! Mr. Bunghole is a handy guy and I give him props, but I bring the posers to their knees.... (okay, it was a few karate classes 6 years ago....) Still, there's alot to be said for the threat of a roundhouse kick which sends the posers to the curb.

However, that darted, welted, tweeded riding habit complete with quirt in hand commands respect all the way around (including my sissy-ass neighbors). Golly, it's good to tailor clothes to one's whim.... Make nice and I'll cut you in on an ensemble at cost....

"[T]hat darted, welted, tweeded riding habit complete with quirt in hand commands respect all the way around (including my sissy-ass neighbors)."

Pardon my french, but GOD DAMN, is this a woman, or what? Bunghole makes even the redoubtable AB2K and TSV look like, well, subdued.

I sense the scat of another Alpha Female here. Ladies, it is your job to fight this out, while all us old lions lay in the sun and lick our balls.

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.14.2006

Not into the alpha-beta scatting thing (although I've been compared to a younger Ella). The 'seasoned lionesses' of the board need not look one whit further at the commentary.

I'm all woman, including the built-in jumblies. Just had to clarify my stance and let all the would-be posers, fakers, shakers, pukers, and otherwise fetishish no-wipers know they cannot vanquish the bunghole. (I will take you out, and if I can't I'll certainly wear something that will mesmerize you into thinking I can!!!!)

Great story, Scato! I didn't know there was an organization out there for poopires.

OK I had a typo in the first line there. Must I lose a point over it?
It should read If you can read this, you are in the shitting zone. Meaning, I can shit on you in this range.

If you can read this, I can hit my brakes and shit on you. Meaning: you are just outside the shitting zone.

If you can read this, I can hut my brakes and sue you. Meaning: you rear end me, I sue you.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 03.14.2006

Meaning: If it takes that much explanation, it ain't funny.

Poop Shooter (597) -- 03.14.2006

I didn't laugh either. KOC, find some new jokes. Those are all old time stuff. BE ORIGINAL!!

Yeah, the remedial joke explanation didn't make it any more humorous. Sorry. Please play again soon. We appreciate your business.

Am I the only person that loves KOC? I laughed the first time, and at the explanation. I have a deep respect for the stream of consciousness type posting that he sometimes does. I also appreciate his well planned, and well versed ones.

Hey, Thanks for all the great comments about me. I didn't realize I was that ugly until I saw myself on TV, kinda took me down a notch. And no, I don't have the "bitch fell off" t-shirt, but I think I might go get one. Take care guys. Curt

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 04.21.2006

Maybe I'm just VERY naive...
Mr. Gilling, is that really you? lol

How cool would that be? A man with a poop related job is featured on Poop Report and he becomes a Poop Reporter too...

Curt (not verified) -- 04.21.2006

Yes, It's really me, dented head and all. My girl friend googled my name the other night and came upon this website. I think it's pretty cool. Take care, Curt

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.23.2006

So become a registered PoopReporter, Curt. You are certainly one of us in spirit!

KeepOnCrappin (550) -- 04.23.2006

Agreed. Let's get some more people on here who had no idea they were in the news.

Currently, there is nothing betwwen me and RD. Also, on that forum link you have there dumpster, ya think everybody's is with somebody? Not me. No questions please though, it's kind of touchy at the moment.

OK, my attemped and failed joke sucked. Here is one from my never-preformed stand up routine:

So back when I was a kid and I first discovered that my parents had sex before I had sex ed classes at school. Ya never look at your parents that way again, once you find that out. So I was only alowed to watch 1 hour of TV per week and drink 1 soda a day. So it was a Sunday and I wanted to watch football (more than 1 hour) I wasn't sure if I was alowed, but I would ask anyway. So I ask through the door "Hey can I watch football?
Dad: [gruff voice] Yes.
Me: Can I have a Coke?
Dad: Yes.
I think Hey this is great sunday is the time to get stuff. Next sunday I ask again:
Me: Can I watch TV?
Mom: [sigh with pleasure] Yeeessss.
Me: can I go over to a friend's? We're gonna watch the game over there.
Mom: Yeeessss.
Me: Should I stop by for dinner or anything?
Mom: [obviously well into it] No, dont stop!!
Me: Hey why can I suddenly do all these things?
Dad: Here I come!!
I run away, thinking he's going to come out and hit me. But I still wonder. So next Sunday, stupid me walks in on them to see why they keep letting me do all these things.

It sounds better out loud, but still funny.

"KOC -- the Cool Crapper" - Rat Droppings

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.23.2006

KOC was in Sunday School one day when the teacher said, "now, boys and girls, when we die, which part of us goes to Heaven first?"

"Our hands," said little Mary, "because that is what we pray to Jesus with."

"Our hearts," said little Sarah, "because that is what we love Jesus with."

"No, no," said little KOC. "It is our feet."

"Why our feet, KOC?" asked the teacher.

"Because last night I was walking down the hall past my parents' room, and I saw Momma on her back with her feet in the air screaming, 'Oh, Jesus, I'm coming! I'm coming!!'

"And if Daddy hadn't been laying on top of her, she'd have gone right then!"

Poop Shooter (597) -- 04.27.2006

KOC, great one
Dumpster, Great one!!

I have nothing to add other than my appreciation for the humorously talented souls!

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 04.28.2006

LOL. TD, that's the second time you've posted that joke. ;)

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.28.2006

Only twice? I'm getting better!

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 04.28.2006

You know the mind is the second thing to go.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.28.2006

And what is the third, so I'll know what to look forward to?

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 04.28.2006

Hearing.

I SAID, "HEARING"!

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.28.2006

An old man, accompanied by his wife, goes to the doctor for a checkup. As they are finishing, the doc says to the old man, who is hard of hearing, "now, Mr. Smith, before you go, I'll need a sample of your urine, a sample of your stool, and a sample of your semen."

"Huh?" says the old man.

Doc responds, louder, "I said, before you go, I'll need a sample of your urine, a sample of your stool, and a sample of your semen!"

"What did he say?" the old man asks his wife helplessly.

"HE SAID TO LEAVE HIM YOUR UNDERWEAR!!" shrieks the old lady.

Dr.DammAwful (27) -- 04.28.2006

Come on my new family of sick'os, I just signed up after weeks of reading your beautiful work, and now you are resorting to this!

I left you a housewarming gift in stall three, enjoy!

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 04.29.2006

IIIII didn't start it.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 04.29.2006

What's up, Doc? Welcome to the site! As for stall three, the joke's on you--that is an exploding toilet!

We will look forward to your participation. What kind of doctor are you?

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 05.01.2006

LOL. Yep, you are losing it. That's probably the third time you posted that hard of hearing guy joke.

The links on that forum page don't work anymore, btw. What model did they show?
