SF Sidewalk Cleaners Can’t Keep Up With The Call Of Nature

But compared to the urban stank of overheating garbage, used beer, bum barf and other human leavings, the rankest farm smells pretty awesome. Partly, I think, because humans are programmed to be disgusted most of all by our own waste… and partly because sheep and cows and pigs and whatnot don’t know any better, but humans are supposed to. San Francisco seems to be loaded with people who aren’t much above the level of animals or soccer fans.
