Going Brown 2

In Brown Before Green 2, the latest episode of The Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs, hosted by Mike Rowe, he said, "Before you can gleam with green, you have to get down with brown."

I agree.

Green is pretty, clean, and has a pleasant aroma. But you need brown -- as in fertilizer and poo -- to grow the green. You have to step in, wade through, shovel, and muck around with brown before reaching green.

"Although green is the color of money," Mr. Rowe said, "the true currency is brown."

Hear, hear.
