Where Do You Want Me to Drop This?

Thanks to Sanjay from Michigan for sharing this photo of a cleverly named portable toilet. The company has created a witty word play on the nature of deliveries dropped off from the back of a truck as well as … something else that you might drop here.

In considering this photo submitted by a reader, I feel like I’ve seen a lot of cleverly named portable toilet companies. I wonder what inspires an entire industry to go on such a creative naming streak?

Perhaps they are using comedy to try to overcome the social awkwardness surrounding discussing toilets?

What other theories do you have? And have you seen any particularly funny and memorable portable toilet company names?

  1. Maybe the funny port-a-potty company names are there because it is just so easy to think of them. You don’t have to be that clever to think of them.
