Fit happens as parents raise stink over septic man’s slogan

MEDWAY (MA) – For parents of elementary school students here, a slogan for a nearby business stinks.

A Medway man's septic-system service boasts about his work with the words ``(Expletive) happens'' on trucks.

``It's not something I'd want my granddaughter to see,'' said Beverly Rechle, the grandmother of a McGovern Elementary School student.

But they do see it all day long as the trucks pull in and out across from the entrance to the school.

``I don't think it's a good thing for my son to read,'' said Debbie Lawton, mom to a first-grader. ``If he saw it, I'm sure he'd say, `How come I can't say that word, but the truck can?' ''

The school's principal, Wendy Rocha, said the foul language on the trucks had not been brought to her attention until now.

The owner of the business, Paul Trufant, said he's not cleaning up his potty talk, as one parent called it.

``This is America, not Iraq . . . it's freedom of speech,'' Trufant said ``There are so many pedophiles out there, why aren't (parents) more worried about pedophiles?''

You could say, criticism happens.

My old dad used colorful language all the time...he used to sing us kids little dittys, many of which he learned in the army during WW11...mom would always get upset at his language, but we kids just giggled...here is one of his favorite dittys...

The night was cold
The sky was blue
And down the alley
The (bleep) wagon flew
A biff, a bang,
A crash was heard
The driver was killed
By a flying, frozen turd..

Thanks, dad, for your sense of humor...

Someone hit my new car while I was shopping at Wal Mart yesterday, and so I took it to the dealership for a quote. It wasn't until later that I noticed the slogan on the top:

"We Meet By Accident"

I thought that was pretty funny.
