This email just came in to me today. Please read then if you feel the humor page on www.custodian.info should be eliminated (no pun intended), then I will remove it.

Dear Custodial Workers Resource:
The humor you use such as a janitor being up all night cleaning feces is in extremely poor taste. The toilet bowl you display on this site is again in extremely poor taste. Obviously you think that this is humor or that you are bringing a little fun to your site. Let me assure you from someone who has managed Custodial Staff for the last 27 years I find this to be extremely poor taste. I have struggled for years to get the Custodians to feel like they are professionals in their field and have struggled to get those that they work around to respect them for the work they do and the fact that they are human beings. Your site belittles them. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful that you have a site but at the same time why don't you try and make it a little classy. A toilet bowl and feces are not funny. They show no professionalism and demean our profession even more than folks already do. We must all stand together as professionals and feel good about ourselves. If you need help with good articles, I would like to contribute but I will not contribute unless changes are made that don't demean our profession.
Thanks,
Jack

:rockon: I vist the humor page when I'm having a bad day on the job.Granted the joke he is refering to does'nt make much sense to me the rest is quite good. My vote is take out the one joke but keep the rest.

I agree, remove the one "joke" and if the toilet bowl image is inappropriate then use another one of your images. I say keep the page. :canada:

Thanks!
I will do that today and then in future if anyone has something humorous they wish added to the page maybe just post it here and if it gets approval from forum readers then I can go ahead and put on the site's humor page.

Thank you

I believe in the freedom of speech and have never seen a joke that ruined the professional reputation of custodians. We have freedom of choice and I guess I'm old because clothes don't make the man and I don't care what people might think. Too Err is human. I prefer to help people and cannot think or feel for them; thats their job.
