You may remember that the other day we mentioned that we’d be contacting the good people over at the Guinness Book of Records regarding the extended period (forty-eight hours) in which dog feces (fresh or desiccated) had not been flung onto our property. A record we both hoped and believed.
So, we called Guinness.
And?
Well, to be perfectly blunt, those folks that compile the records over at Guinness were not impressed. Not in the least. In fact according to Guinness many (who are we kidding, in fact most) families go months, years, decades and entire lifetimes without ever having dog feces deposited by anything other than a stray dog. Accordingly, they do not keep track of such statistics or records. To our great dismay we added no small amount of disbelief – not to the record keeping but to the lack of ‘poo lobbing’.
But the good folks at Guinness responded by stating, “that normal people do not fling feces onto the lawns of neighbors!” and added that in their feeling, “that it probably wasn’t a person at all that was flinging dog feces about.” Before they went on to suggest that in their opinion the perpetrator of the poo flinging was most likely some sort of giant chicken.
That was where the conversation ended.
I did not reveal the fact that not only did we live in the general vicinity of at least one giant chicken but suspected that we had resided for several years among a flock of giant chickens.
Hmmm… I wonder if that might be some kind of record?
