No.

The answer is no.

We once had a competition here for the staff to come up with a slogan. The results were fantastic – mostly unrepeatable on your blog but one that I will always remember was "You dump it we'll pump it" (we didn't use it)

I’m sorry, Bruce, but I really cannot feel ANY sympathy for you on this.

Sign,

I was humbled to find one at a local farm called the "Bruce"… WHAT?!!

I welcome ANY other name with joy after that…

At the New Children's Museum they have a Party Potty exhibit complete with I-pod and disco ball inside.

I think the name of this porta potty is hinting at things that have nothing to do with the bathroom, and everything that has to do with 1-2 people.

Wow, Odgie. Good point. "Dumpy's." That is SO funny.

Blonde: "Gotugo," sounds like the name of some exotic island you'd visit and take awesome photos of…. But never, ever go the REAL Gotugo and take any photos at all. Ever.

When I attended a free concert and fireworks in Dublin, OH last Friday, I used a portable toilet called Porta-Kleen. How can they call it “kleen” when your digestive byproduct falls into a heavily perfumed blue liquid?

let's see…if I had a porta-potty business, I'd call it … um … let's think.

Go Anywhere

Stop 'n Go

Pit Stops

Why Aim?

okay, that's enough of that

Around here, we have "Johnny on the Spot."

Ric: It's true. We're in a state of denial. We refuse to believe that, when push comes to shove, all that really matters is how you look. Which is wrong. Which is why, apparently, God has decided to burn down the entire state. But that's really just a guess.

It could be worse …

Here in New England there is a port-a-potty company called Blow Brothers with the slogan, “We’re #1 in the #2 business.”

I’m not kidding.

You Californians are like in a completely different state.

Wickle: That's … the absolute worst. Now I may have to fly out to New England and kill somebody. Bummer.

Angel: That's why they spell it "Kleen," instead of clean. They know they're liars.

Skerrib: When I was little–in California, anyway–they were called Porta-Skerribs. But I don't know how common that is anymore.

Photoshopped? Are you kidding? No, no: I can barely SPELL Photoshop. Since I bought a camera I’ve spent … I don’t know… a half hour walking around the downtown area of the town I live in, looking for stuff I think might be good for this blog. I found this port-a-pot. That’s it!

Aha! Found how to get hold of you see my other email comment on not hearing from you since around May. Regarding driving and talking on cell phones you wouldn’t want to believe how many are just snubbing their nose at this law here in Ozzie Land. Weird name for that Portaloo should be “We Go Where You God.”

Is this photoshopped?

John,

Here we call them Oui Oui.

When I was little they were known as Porta-Johns.

I'm just sayin'…
