Fit happens as parents raise stink over septic man’s slogan

MEDWAY (MA) – For parents of elementary school students here, a slogan for a nearby business stinks.

A Medway man's septic-system service boasts about his work with the words ``(Expletive) happens'' on trucks.

``It's not something I'd want my granddaughter to see,'' said Beverly Rechle, the grandmother of a McGovern Elementary School student.

But they do see it all day long as the trucks pull in and out across from the entrance to the school.

``I don't think it's a good thing for my son to read,'' said Debbie Lawton, mom to a first-grader. ``If he saw it, I'm sure he'd say, `How come I can't say that word, but the truck can?' ''

The school's principal, Wendy Rocha, said the foul language on the trucks had not been brought to her attention until now.

The owner of the business, Paul Trufant, said he's not cleaning up his potty talk, as one parent called it.

``This is America, not Iraq . . . it's freedom of speech,'' Trufant said ``There are so many pedophiles out there, why aren't (parents) more worried about pedophiles?''

You could say, criticism happens.

I find it funny.

But that's my South Park Republican side talking.

You know, I see their point. But, I have heard children that age say worse than that at a public school.

A talking truck? :)

"I bet you they won't play this song on the radio
I bet you they won't play this new (BLEEP) song
It's not that it's (blank) or (blank) controversial
It's just that the (bleep)ing words are awfully strong.

You can't see (Bleep!) on the radio
Or (Bleep!) or (Blank) or (Bleeeggggufg!)
You can't even say I'd like to (sound effect) you
someday
Unless you're a doctor with a very large (sound effect)
So I bet you they won't play this song on the radio
I bet you they won't (ching!)-ing well program it.\
I'll bet you their (bleep!)-ing old Program Directors
Will think it's a load of horse(flop)"--Monty Python

Well yes and also there is consequences. He thinks free speech means no consequences.

There's a septic tank service company here in San Diego that has the slogan "Your crap is our bread and butter" painted on the back of every truck. It gets a laugh out of me every time.

His truck says "When Doody Calls."

And he is right. The speech was free in Iraq even under Saddam. The consequences were rather unpleasant, though. But as long as one was willing to face those consequences, one's speech was free.

The man has a sense of humor - and when you're in the business he's in, I expect you need one. Reminds me of the old (unofficial) Milorganite natural fertilizer slogan: "From the ass to the grass in one easy application!"

Oh man! That made me laugh!
Kind of like when National Lampoon's True Facts (funny
real-life photos) had a "missing letters" bit that included the following (no, the letter wasn't really missing, but...)

FU KING CHINESE RESTAURANT

I think it is funny. But, I am more tolerant than most when it comes to that sort of thing.
