A Few Thoughts On The Poop B Gone Van

Your Mind Tends To Wander When You Are Parked Next To The Poop B Gone Van In Traffic

Was driving home last night In Port Jeff Station and I was parked in traffic next to the "POOP B GONE" van. From what I understand it is a service that comes to your property and De-Pooperizes your yard. Just a few questions.. How low on the job food chain have you gotten that you can't get a job at Taco Bell and are forced to go to Poop-B-Gone?  What is the interview like?  "Were do you see yourself in two years with Poop-B-Gone?"  or  “What special skills can you bring to Poop B Gone?”  What happens to the doggie poop after they clean it up?  What is the training like?  “Ok trainee..now bend scoop, bend scoop,  bend scoop”   If you do great at your job do you get awarded the Silver Pooper Scooper?  Do they charge more for different dogs?  Poodle is $2.50 per scoop but a Great Dane is $6.50 per scoop.  Let just say you’re a young dude who is a Pooper employee and you meet a pretty girl how do you tell her what you do for a living.. “Well you see I’m a canine excrement  engineer”  Not even Bill Clinton could spin that one.

Maybe they should send the Poop B Gone van over to both the Obama and Romney’s campaign headquarters. Seems like they both have been flinging a lot of you know what around for months. To be honest maybe it is not such a bad way to make a living. Make your own hours. The customer never argues with you. You get to be outside and you get to drive the Pooper Mobile. At my Auto Parts job I have been dealing with crap for 30 years.  Maybe in some odd way I really do work for Poop B Gone..
