Picture of the Day: Scat Cop

Who knows what the backstory is to this photograph, but it would be nice if New York City had more personnel in this capacity on the job.

They give out degrees now for (Canine) Fecal Engineering?
fudge pack?
Well it's about time the city addressed this issue.
I know there are certainly some taurean fecal engineers on this site.
This story stinks.
MY PHOTO MADE IT!!!
That HAS to be photoshopped. I mean...

I can see it now. "Is that coffee grounds?". "No. It's Brown Gold. Time to call in the CFE!" and then a WHO song plays.
i actually used to see that guy and his dog around E. 5th Street. He looks just like Lou Reed and stands about 5' 2".
Why 200 feet?
The guy is antisocial and the text on the jacket is just to encourage people to give him a wide berth. The reason for the story is people misunderstood and could understand why he did not do his job and pick up dog faeces.

"I know there are certainly some taurean fecal engineers on this site."
Alas, I am not one of these peeps as I went a separate route than science. I would call myself a Taurean Fecal Artiste. :)
This guy at a bar.
-"Heyy, so what do you do?"
-"Well I'm an engineer"
-"Ooohh.. like what kinda engineer"
-"Canine Fecal"
"Quick! It's cat shit! Get that guy to look it over!"
"No,no,no. I'm a 'Canine Fecal Engineer.' I don't time to be bothered with that shit."
Ahhh....the poo jokes.
Not to be the camera nerd in the room, but the lettering on that jacket is FAKE. See how the contrast differs from other words in the pic, like on the back of the hat or the Panasonic logo on the camera? Canine Fecal Engineer is all Photoshop, baby!
