Got to use my tracking skills the other day.

Postby Nanoose » Tue Jul 06, 2010 12:43 am

Last week I went under one of my grounds keeping customers deck to cut back some sucker bamboo shouts and I noticed a big pile of poop. Because I know my poop (tracking 101) I could tell that it was human poop – it was 4 – 6 months old and somebody had taking a poop in that spot about 5 times. (its possible that it was 5 different people but it would take a DNA test to figure that out). The deck is closed in with a door on it and it’s in an area were most of the homes are worth a million bucks so it seemed a bit odd and a bit alarming so I told my customer about it.
If the poop had been fresh I would have probably been able to find a trail and at least be able to tell him if it was from one of his neighbors or somebody sneaking up from the golf course. Cheers!

PS: Bamboo is not a good thing to plant around a home those sucker shoots can spread hundreds of feet away from the mother plant and they can do a lot of damage and are very hard to get rid of.
What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.

I like bamboo, and it's almost like the peanut in its plenitude of uses (as anyone who's ever owned a bamboo bong can attest), but you're right about how fast it spreads and how it's almost impossible to get rid of. It's almost as bad as kudzu! As prolific as both plants are, it's just a crying shame you can't get a buzz from them.

Maybe your customer had a visit from sasquatch. If DNA tests indicate the presence of bones and fur of small mammals, it's probably sasquatch. If the DNA tests are positive for corn, it's a safe bet the culprit is a human who's recently been to Joe's Crab Shack.

Well I never considered that it could be a sasquatch now I am actually curious what sasquatch poop looks like. (probably looks similar to human poop)
This customer is the golf coarse marshall so maybe it’s some one he kicked out because they were driving their cart well intoxicated.
I just find it weird because every body in that area is well off and sneaking under someone’s sun deck and taking poops doesn’t seem like something a rich person would do.
Maybe to find the culprit I will have to find some one that has imported beer farts.
Cheers!

Nanoose, just 'cause they's rich don't necessarily mean they have class. When I was a boss jock in high school, I dated a gal whose mother owned an expansive horse farm in the horse country of central Virginia. I swear it took a full 20 minutes to drive from the main road down the tree-lined road bordered by immaculately maintained white fence to the mansion they lived in. Lots of old money tied up in that place! My GF was an equestrian, and I used to go to the horse shows to watch her jump and generally had entree to many country club affairs that I otherwise would never in a million years have had access to. But what I enjoyed most about the horse shows and country club scene was watching those rich folk getting tanked and behaving badly. It was like Peyton Place with all the swinging and extramarital screwing around! :yipes:

Ya but I bet that when they do it they keep their pinky finger up in the air (like when rich folk drink tea) that’s class. Cheers!
