But do not both a zoo and a farm have the poo? I had always seen it spelled pooh, so this is a new spelling for me. I have no doubt you are right however.

Ha, ha! You're right. The zoo can get pretty odiferous, I guess. :) gw

You got that right. Nothing 'better' than standing downwind of a 100+ cow cowshed. Phew! :) gw

Ha, ha! I 've only lived and worked on kosher farms (in Israel), so I didn't think of pigs... Anyway, nothing like the dust and poop in chicken coops... Here's to farmers! :) gw

I've never visited a farm but I am sure there is a lot of shoveling involved!
