“Just like Cocoa Puffs”

I’m sitting here watching one of our new guilty pleasure shows, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. There are things that this man does that I just cannot believe he would subject himself to. Last week it was a snake farm. Tonight it is the San Francisco Zoo.

And what Dirty Job is he doing? Oh, cleaning up poop. I’m beginning to think that most of the Dirty Jobs that he does involve poop in some way, shape, or form.

He’s going around with the man who drives the Poop Truck. This same man says that he would rather drive the Poop Truck instead of working with people in Guest Services (his former job). Seriously? Must be some great poop. But, of course, Mike Rowe just had to take it a step further and ask the man what his favorite poop was. His answer? Giraffe poop. Why???

“Because it looks just like Cocoa Puffs.”

You know, I used to like that cereal. Can’t see my buying it again.

Of course, Mike had to check it out, and, go figure, it really does look like that. Why? Evidentally giraffes have a very efficient 4-chambered stomach that is very efficient and extracts almost all nutrients, leaving very little waste in the form of these itty bitty pellets.

Which Mike Rowe then called Milk Duds.

yup, not buying them again, either.

Now if only Mike Rowe could find crap that looks like carrot cake, chocolate, and well, anything else that manages to ruin my diet, I think I’d be in great shape!!!

(sorry for the nasty post…he is at a cheese factory now. Things are a little cleaner there. :) )

  2. hee-hee. yeah, I’ve seen that show a couple of times. Have you ever watched “Cash Cab?” It’s on Discovery Channel, 5:00 I think. We LOVE it! So much fun - try it.
