Your Poop Kinda Smells
So your poop smells...but not as bad as I thought it would.
I was given a tour of the Springfield Sewage facility today...since everyone's rates will be going up a mere 400 percent. (I really don't know what all the fuss is about).
So it was poop visitation day for anyone who wanted a tour of the plant on North 8th street. I wish I wasn't reporting today and just there as a bored individual. There were so many things I wanted to say. I would have loved to go with a friend and say things like "Hey Steve...that looks like that burrito you had yesterday."
One of the tour guides did somehow compare sour dough to sludge AKA your poop. I actually shouldn't say your...I think it would be more accurate to say "our poop". After the tour guide said that I exclaimed "Thank you for ruining sour dough for the rest of my life."
The poop plant was kinda cool. Gazillions of tiny micro organisms...or bugs as they call them...eat our sludge into almost nothing. They then pump what is left to a sludge field. They then grow corn and other food products from the sludge and ship it to supermarkets all over the US........ok....that last part was a joke....they don't grow produce on the sludge farm....which means you are not eating your own poo...but that would be cool....maybe not cool....resourceful?
As for the rate increase I would just say everyone will unfortunately just have to suck it up....cause I don't want to find out what happens when the 80 year old facility starts to break down and I CERTAINLY don't want to be the one who has to clean it up.
