#1 You know, this is more appropriate than they think.

A sewage plant is basically something people don't appreciate or respect nearly as much as they should, and they don't realize it until it's gone.

#2 "Most politicians tend to be narcissistic and egomaniacs," said Brian McConnell, an organizer who regularly suits up as Uncle Sam to solicit signatures. "So it is important for satirists to help define their history rather than letting them define their own history."

So tell me about that narcissism and egomania again, Uncle Sam?

#3 Great idea! I hereby name my toilet, "San Francisco". The anthem for my new memorial is, of course, "I left my s**t in San Franscisco".

#4 R of O:

That's is a great idea. Let's take it on step further. Many know the term "take a crap" came from the name on British toilets produced by Thomas Crapper.

I also will name my toilets San Francisco (40 minutes to my west) and henceforth when I have a BM it will be called "taking a San Francisco".

Even better I will call it "taking a Frisco". The term "Frisco" drives them nuts by it's self, so this way you can double my pleasure.

I can now leave a symbol of my disdain for San Franfreakshow anywhere in the world. I can hear Tony Bennett now; "I left my Frisco, in San Francisco".

The runniness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The movement that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone
And constipated in Manhattan
I'm going home to my cesspool by the bay.

I left my frisco in San Francisco
High on a toilet, it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fart may foul the air
I don't care!
My BM waits there in San Francisco
Above the white and chilly seat
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden rain will shine for me!

#5 If it works as designed then, considering the amount of doo doo generated in San Fransico, I think it quite an honor.

#6 A working sewer system is a mark of civilization.

They think it is some sort of insult when in fact the only way it could be is if the sewer system quit working - in which case it may be worth it just to watch "Physicle and Mentally freeing" working people haul their filth to a designated drop point, bucket by bucket.

#7 After all,

The breakfast garbage they throw into the Bay,
They drink at lunch in San Jose. Tom Lehrer
