For nearly a century, the Ringling Bros circus has played in NYC's Madison Square Garden each spring. One of the BIG problems is what to do with all the elephant poo.

About 20 years or so ago, when organic gardening first became popular..they came up with the brilliant idea to sell the stuff..elephant dung is GREAT fertilizer.

So, every day the circus is in town, you can see all these liberals with their rooftop gardens, drive their SUVs down into the loading docks under MSG, lay down a tarp, and PAY good money for elephant crapola..

“... elephant dung is GREAT fertilizer”.

I can’t believe that I am actually commenting on poop but here goes. I did read an article sometime back that wild animal poop is a great fertilizer BUT one must not spread the “fresh” poop on plants immediately. It has to “mellow” and decay for a good season. If I remember correctly, it had to do with the nitrogen level (?) and the fresh poop will actually burn plants. So.. there you go.
