THUMBS GRUMS



Brian “Thumbs” MacKenzie ran a small septic tank cleaning company. On Tuesdays he wore a “Shit Happens” t-shirt. He often peed on people’s driveways behind his truck while brown sludge was sucked out from backyard septic tanks with an elephant truck sized hose.

“He’s urinating on our driveway !!” Martha shouted to her hubby.

“Do you want him in the house ?” her husband replied. Deadpan.

The sound of pumping continued unabated. Brian’s reputation for being a klutz - along with the fact that there was no other septic tank company in town -.gave him freedoms unknown to the rest of the world. Nobody wanted his mistakes tracked into the cleanliness and godliness of their homes.
