GROSS CONTENT AHEAD
…that there are an array of questions that can answered each day, I thought there was only one per every 24hour period. I was ignorant and now I have been enlightened and had all day to think about it it would have to be the time many years ago when I worked in advertising, dreaming up big ideas and generally being unrealistic about what we were going to do. It was very good fun or so it seemed smoking weed, doing Coke and generally being wasteful. Anyway it was one of those days where a pend and paper fall into ones hand you start drawing. It was as was typical with my imagination back then an idea centred around excrement, this time on methods of the proper and environmentally friendly means of disposing of it. The drawing and I can recall it quite clearly featured a house with a man taking a dump on his throne, the dump going down the pipe as turds do and winding up in a big pit. Where it was to be consumed, digested and otherwise processed by of all things; flies. The business idea was to be called Shit Fly or at least that was the preliminary name of it.
That there are already plentiful and more wholesome means of disposing of poo, did not matter, Shit Fly was going to save the day. That flies fly and might transport shit everywhere did not bother me. That little brown foot prints would appear here there and everywhere did not cause any concern or that this would present a major health hazard had nothing to do with it. Shit fly was going to be awesome and soon everyone would have Shit Fly products in their homes.
Needless to say this shitty idea died before it even took off and happily the world has never experienced Shit Fly in its full glory. As an aside I later did some research and discovered that another enterprising soul was or had developed a idea involving some type of worm to eat, digest and otherwise get rid of the stuff.
I am glad my business idea never took off, if you excuse the pun.
