Plumbers prepare for 'Brown Friday,' issue warnings about their busiest day of the year​

Plumbers across the country are bracing themselves for "Brown Friday," a four-day sewage fest that takes place coast to coast when people start dumping their Thanksgiving leftovers down the disposal, in both the kitchen and the bathroom, leading to massive backups.

Brown Friday is easily the busiest time of year for plumbers, with Roto-Rooter estimating a 50% spike in calls on Friday. Plumbers see a 21% jump on the four-day weekend as a whole.

I had a former business partner who owned a waste management company in Alaska. His saying was, 'Where there's muck, there's money'. He was quite wealthy so I figured he knew what he was talking about.

Its a compliment to the cook to plug up the toilet.
Theres a hallmark card in this somewhere-

I made more money than I would have as a local attorney when I hauled hazardous waste. Paid for a few GTXs, and I was never without work.

The article was not about turds. It was about people dumping leftovers from their plates into the sink and garbage disposals.
It is interesting how we all act depending on how we are raised. I used to dump stuff in the sink but a few years ago, I started scraping the plates over the garbage can. The dishwasher has it easier, the sink doesn't get as dirty and it actually reduces the burden on the sewer system.
