Great big pile of shit!

There is something deeply pleasing to look outside of my office window and see the huge, steaming manure pile just across the way.

The complete science of it, simply blows me away.

The biology; the process of feed=shit=fertiliser=growth=life.

The chemistry; the way the gases build and the steaming gets heavier as the week passes.

The physics; seeing the amount there is to be collected and the way the grabber lifts bucket loads, the drifting atoms, the spreading without effort.

I love it.

Just the simple fact that it is an eco-system in itself, makes me feel humble.

Well, now that you have found out that shite is useful and has a purpose in the Universe, we'll all have to find another insult for those annoying people we often encounter.

"Shit" is almost a term of endearment now!

Herbivore crap is so much less offensive than omni/carnivore crap. Count your lucky stars they're rearing horses not lions!

Most office shit is invisble. I think this may be the way forward - a law that a business must have an amount of shit outside comensurate to the amount of shit going on inside.

Me & mags have already nominated one company.

I tell you, you know you are blessed with the God given sense of smell when you approach tat pile!

I know the summer is going to 'enhance' the flavour, but I'm ready for it after I got a glimpse of an Argentinian Polo Groom today.....a tanned Angel I tell's ya!
