Best Septic Tank Cleaning

Life has its moments, and many of them are funny. We would like to share these laughs with you. We want you to visit this page often, so we will try to update it often to keep you smiling.

In the office there isn't much to laugh at [except the office cats and neighbor dogs], so it's really enjoyable when the guys come in and tell about the funny things that happened to them while they were out. Though Kim has accompanied Brad on a few field jobs, and she got a few laughs of her own. Well, it isn't funny and it is, but when Brad fell in someone's septic tank it did hurt <ouch> but it was funny too <sorry, dear--giggle> Actually, that wasn't Brad's fault--the customer had let his system get so flooded that his backyard was a pond, and Brad had to wade through knee-deep water looking for it, and then after he fell in the customer said, "Oh, I already uncovered it." [It sure would have been helpful to have known that information BEFORE Brad went swimming!]

Once a pet squirrel at a customer's house climbed up Brad's arm and went looking in his pocket for peanuts!

Okay, so we like animals. A lot. We have no end of funny animal stories to tell. Recently we've heard of the lady who calls to her pond catfish "Here kitty, kitty," and they come to the surface to be fed. And there's the one where the horse had to stick its nose in the tank to see what's there while the guys were trying to clean it. Animals are fascinated by the truck's hose. Dogs must think its some strange animal come into their yard, and their antics are always hilarious.

June--The guys had a customer last week who taught her dogs to very carefully eat the caterpillars off her tomatos. Now THAT'S organic gardening!

July--Mmm, nothing "funny" but last week I had a 15-inch snake drop from a near-by tree into the crack between the office's screen door and its hinges while I was walking through!

August--The guys told me a customer they visited has a growing Lab puppy. It was playing with a very long stick, went running between two trees, and stumbled backward in surprise when the stick smacked the trees.

November--okay, if you are having problems getting through to our office, it could be Tom cat's fault. Our resident office kitty has discovered the speaking buttons on the phone and sometimes turns our answering system to the wrong function! Anyone know how to cat-proof a phone?

January07--Notes from Chris: Today I opened a septic Tank and was inspecting it as usual when I felt a slight tug on my boot. Expecting a small dog or some such animal, but to my chagrin I found a foot-and-a-half long baby aligator attached to my boot. After a sharp increase of octives and a few quick jerks of the leg "little baby Al" went flying a good twenty feet toward the fence before landing, getting up, and promptly scurrying away. You really never know what to expect when you open a tank.
