Joke of the Week
In the middle of the night a service tech for a portable sanitation company woke his wife, complaining of severe abdominal
pains, vomiting and diarrhea. He'd been up for hours and the situation was only getting worse. They rushed to the emergency
room where the medical staff gave him a series of tests to determine the source of the problems. The tech decided not to have
his wife call his boss at the company until they knew how long he ' d be sick .
When the results came back, the nurse informed the couple that he was
suffering from bacterial gastroenteritis - a form of food poisoning - from
something he'd eaten that his wife had not. He got a shot that made him
stop vomiting, but they learned that the rest of his symptoms – including the
diarrhea – would just have to run their course.
The wife turned to the husband and asked, "Would you like me to call
the porta potty company now?"
With an alarmed look, the nurse quickly said, "Ma'am, he's not THAT sick!"

Tipping Toilets Result in Potty Payout
Compensation has been provided two years after two
brothers were inside portable units that tipped over
A portable toilet incident that happened two years ago still
haunts a family in north Wales today. Just last week two
young brothers received compensation that will go into a
trust until they are 18. While attending a car boot sale the
two boys, then aged four and six, were using se parate
portable toilets when a gust of wind blew them both down,
soaking them in chemicals and waste. One of the units fell
on its door, trapping the youngest boy until it could be
lifted upright again. They were rushed to the hospital where they received tetanus shots. Waterloo Hire,
Ltd, the company who owns the toilets, stated that they've never strapped them down and don't intend
to begin now, but will discuss better placement with customers in the future. The promotional company in
charge of the site s ays they will take their own measures to strap them down.
