Joke of the Week
A very successful portable sanitation operator had a meeting with his new son - in - law. "I welcome you into the family!" said the
man. "To show you how much we care for you, I am making you a 50 - 50 partner in the family business. All you have to do is
show up on the yard every day and learn the operation."
The son - in - law interrupted. "I hate trucks. I can't stand the noise and the fumes make me light - headed."
"I see," replied the father - in - law. "Well, then you'll work in the
office and take charge of some of the business, sales and
technology things."
"I hate office work," said the son - in - law. "I can't stand being
stuck behind a desk."
"Wait a minute," said the father - in - law. "I just made you half
owner of a money - making company, but you don't l ike trucks,
and won't work in an office. What am I going to do with you?"
"Easy," said the son - in - law. "Buy me out."

No Plumbing, No Problem
The new SaTo, or "Safe Toilet," is yet another
game changer in areas of the world where
plubming is not an option
With help from the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation
and American Standard, Japanese toilet
company, Lixil has created a "Safe Toilet" for
areas in the world where there is no plumbing.
The new SaTo comes equipped with a trap door
that keeps waste and odor under the surface
away from its users, who need only to pour water down to make it function. "Nobody with our
engineering, manufacturing, distribution, and procurement skills is doing this," says general manager,
Jim McHale. According to a report Lixi l released last summer, $220 billion is spent each year globally due
to lack of proper sanitation. SaTo has become its own division of the Lixil company and they expect to
begin turning a profit within the next few years.
