I spent a summer pumping out septic tanks (good money, but not a job I'd choose again), and didn't notice any such difference -- rich sht smelled like poor sht.

I spent a summer pumping out septic tanks (good money, but not a job I'd choose again), and didn't notice any such difference -- rich sht smelled like poor sht. (though the wealthier customers tended to have more non-degradable bits in the sludge, I guess they didn't care as much about keeping their septic system healthy by taking care about what they flushed). One customer called us after their son flushed all of his legos down the toilet, we had to suck them out of the drainfield cleanouts too, not sure how they made it that far since legos tend to sink. There must have been thousands of pieces, he must have worked long and hard on flushing them.
