āSo God Created a Turd Pumperā
And on the 8th dayā¦
God looked down on His planned paradise and said,
āFolks are gonna eat chili dogs at county fairs, install garbage disposals they shouldnāt, and flush things that absolutely aināt flushableā¦ā
So God created a turd pumper.
God said,
āI need somebody willing to get outta bed at 2:13 in the morning because somebodyās basement toilet is bubbling like a Yellowstone geyser.ā
So God created a turd pumper.
I need somebody tough enough to wrestle frozen hoses in Januaryā¦
Yet gentle enough to explain to a homeowner why six pounds of āflushableā wipes turned their septic tank into concrete soup.
So God created a turd pumper.
God said,
āI need somebody who can back a 3-axle vacuum truck down a muddy driveway⦠in reverseā¦
between a propane tank, a swing set, and a woman screaming āDONāT HIT MY PETUNIAS!āā
So God created a turd pumper.
Somebody who can eat a gas station cheeseburger at noonā¦
Then open a septic lid at 12:15 and somehow keep that cheeseburger where it belongs.
So God created a turd pumper.
I need somebody who understands pumps, plumbing, soil types, hydraulics, and diesel enginesā¦
But can still explain a baffle filter using only hand gestures and the phrase:
āWelp⦠thereās your problem.ā
So God created a turd pumper.
God said,
āI need a man whoāll work 14 hours in July heatā¦
Smelling things the human nose was never designed to smellā¦
Then come home and somehow still eat supper.ā
So God created a turd pumper.
I need somebody who knows the exact sound a full tank makesā¦
Who can diagnose trouble by the color of water in a ditchā¦
And who aināt afraid to stick a shovel where nobody else would even stick a boot.
So God created a turd pumper.
And God said,
āWhen civilization forgets how important sanitation isā¦
When everybody wants clean bathrooms but nobody wants the jobā¦
I need a few men willing to do work that matters more than anybody admits.ā
So God created a turd pumper.
Because when the pipes back upā¦
And the toilet wonāt flushā¦
And panic spreads through the household faster than Taco Tuesday regretā¦
Thereās one man rolling down the road in a shiny vacuum truckā¦
Monster in one hand.
Rubber gloves in the other.
Smelling faintly of diesel fuel and poor decisions.
And thatā¦
is a turd pumper.
Good day.
