I pee around the corn patch to prevent raccoons from stealing my crop and the rest of the year I kill weeds with it. My urine is so loaded with Red Wine the weeds get drunk and run into each other...

One of the hallmarks of our advanced civilization and what has kept us reasonably disease-free has been the modern western world’s demand to keep our human waste out of our food and water stream.

I think that we are reverting to third world status even faster than expected.

I would prefer to pee on the graves of Liberals.

Wife: "Honey, what were you doing standing out there on the porch last night?"

Husband: "Just fertilizing the lawn, babe."

[RichInOC]

As a fraternity alum, I heartily endorse this.

“Yeh, what’s that — Milorgano or something like that?”

Milorganite, the pride of Milwaukee. Back in the 70’s my dad used to fertilize the shrubs with that stuff which grew like jungle weeds.

My son who was three at the time told his grandmother that the best part of camping was “peeing on a twee.” I didn’t realize what an environmentalist he was.

No, poop is full of coliform bacteria. No good unless it's very carefully composted at a high enough temperature to pasteurize the compost.

Pee, however--- unless you have a kidney or bladder infection ---is sterile. I've got no problem with the menfolks in my household going out and fertilizing the kudzu. Hm... (lightbulb appears above head)...maybe that's the problem....

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[HiramQuick]

that would mean I would HAVE to buy the worthless print media first .... and that aint gonna happen. I spend my hard earned money on worth while things like cow manure.

[HiramQuick]

And people wonder why I equate environmentalists to morons. (hate giving a moron uselses company .. sorry)

The environmentalisst are the same ones that ar oh so correct in raising children as well .... children must play in a sterile environment and use antibacterial soap 117 times a day. In other words ... they morons (enviroweenies) speak out both sides of their mouth.

And since I am rantint .. lets kill those babies , they do not have a choice ... but damn, we don’t dare put a rag head terrorist to death ... he made the choice. go figure.

Do it around the edge of the garden to keep the deer out - it sends the message “Large Carnivore lives here. Leave now while you still can.”

[Fire_on_High]

Omg, ew! We had the tank pumped yesterday and the stench from the open tank was just mindbending. Can’t imagine anyone doing that willingly!

[Hawthorn]

>> Then why do health organizations require food handlers to wash their hands after going to the bathroom? <<

Very simple. Because even though urine is sterile, feces most certainly are not. And food handlers who use a restroom — even if they go there only to urinate — may inadvertently come into contact with somebody else’s feces.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Urine is sterile

When it's in our bodies, yes. Once it's expelled it quickly becomes colonized by bacteria, and since it's human urine the bacteria will have an affinity for human proteins and soluble wastes found in humans. Cultivating open-air menageries of such bacteria is not good for human health, which is one reason why impoverished nations seek desperately to eliminate uncovered sewers. Meanwhile, environmentalists in the West urge us to create open sewers.

[ApplegateRanch]

Reminds me of the scenes in World's Fastest Indian with Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) urinating on his lemon tree every morning, 'to produce the best lemons'.

[ApplegateRanch]

When we still got a daily paper, we always called it “The Daily Compost”. Now they tell me I should have been literally, instead of just figuratively, urinating on it.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Milorganite — right out of the Milwaukee sewer system.

[afraidfortherepublic]

When we lived in Berkeley 40 years ago, I had a beautiful camellia bush in the back yard. My neighbor (who had a birdseye view of our postage stamp yard from her kitchen) assured me that the reason that particular bush was so beautiful was because the previous owner peed on it every night after dinner.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. So dogs will save the planet!
