Q.
|
But what about the smell?
Alex Cameron, Glasgow, Scotland.
|
|
A.
|
A good question Alex and one we should have answered in the main body of the website. Because of the harsh, dry climate Australian animal poo is very dry as the animal has to extract all the moisture it can before voiding our product.
Consequently there is little smell. Kangaroo Poo smells faintly of grass and not at all pooey. It looks a bit like miniature horse poo. Koala poo smells of eucalyptus oil. Needless to say, neither of them smell once we’ve treated them

Q.
|
Does the True Blue Roo Poo Company export to the USA?
Anton Sikorski, Chicago USA
|
|
A.
|
Yes Anton, we mail our products all over the world even though we've sometimes been accused of dumping.

|
Q.
|
Do you ever get browned off with all this shit?
Chris Hutton, Glenelg, South Australia
|
|
A.
|
Good question Chris. Yes, occasionally, but we find a night on the piss usually puts us back on top.

|
Q.
|
Why would anybody start a company with such tasteless and abhorrent products?
Patricia Nhil, Sydney, Australia
|
|
A.
|
Well, in our case Patricia, our accountant told us one day that we were in deep shit and we thought that we'd make the best use of what was around us. As for taste...we haven't been game to try it yet.

Q.
|
How durable are the paperweights…can they be left outside? From:
Richard Doran, Pretoria, South Africa
|
|
A.
|
At last a sensible question. We're pleased to inform you Richard that these quality products are tiny time capsules which will still be around for archaeologists to turn up in a thousand years time.

|
Q.
|
Dear Poo People. The kangaroo poo paperweight I purchased from you has bubbles in it. Is this a fault in the manufacturing process?
Mrs. D. Jenkinson. Dandenong, Victoria, Australia.
|
|
A.
|
Not at all Mrs. Jenkinson. Through a soon-to-be-patented gas encapsulation process we are now able to capture kangaroo farts in the resin. As well as providing a more unusual product we are preventing these greenhouse gases from contributing
to global warming. It reminds us of Jurassic Park every time we look at them Mrs. Jenkinson. There they lay suspended in time until perhaps one-day scientists will be able to clone them and fill air ships with the stuff.

Q.
|
Does the Tazzie Devil really spin on its tail like in the Warner Brothers cartoon?
Janet Bird, El Segundo, California
|
|
A.
|
Sorry to disappoint you Janet but our Dennis still has all the hair on his tail and according to him, Taz, the Tazzie Devil from the cartoon, isn't actually Tasmanian at all. The name Taz seems to come from Tazmania where Taz lives. Dennis is
scared of Taz so from time to time we threaten to deport him to Tazmania even though there's no Tazmania on the map.

Q.
|
We've bought a jar of roo poo and a pair of koala poo earrings and my wife has a question: why is roo poo round but koala poo shaped like torpedos with tapered ends. After all, they're both herbivorous marsupials?
Ian Clitheroe, Hampshire England
|
|
A.
|
Some wife Ian!, her maiden name wasn't Darwin by any chance was it? Well, you stumped us so we asked our resident biologist David Scattenborough. He says that the kangaroo is an active grazing animal whereas the koala is extremely passive and
spends up to 18 hours a day sleeping. Evolution has gradually shaped koala poo with a taper at each end so as to stop their buttocks closing with a bang and waking them up.

|
Q.
|
What gave you guys the idea of starting a business based on animal poo sales?
Patrick Golfiere, Pontivy, France.
|
|
A.
|
Friday nights after work we used to shoot craps Patrick, and then someone suggested we could sell them instead.
