Dear Pungents, overlooking guideline #2 for POD, we are in the ‘refuse/garbage’ business which we like to call waste disposal. We send ‘bins’ or ‘containers’ to businesses, construction sites and homes. They fill the bin with their un-wanted items/waste; we pick it up and dump it at our waste transfer station where it’s re-loaded into tractor trailers and sent to landfill. Can you help us with a slogan we can use on side of our bins or in other advertising media? ~ John, Whitby, Ontario
AS THE PUN GENTS SEE IT:
1) “A proven truck-record“
2) “Dedicated service: because the compostman always rings twice!”
3) “Need pollution solutions? We’ve bin at it for years.”
4) “Cheap hauling rates! You get mileage from our pileage.”
5) “Are we qualified? Just look at our garbadge.” [ok that is silly]
6) “We can’t container enthusiasm! But we contain everything else!”

Dear Pungents, I need a name for a group of 10-to-16 year olds whose brothers or sisters have significant special needs. The siblings seem to have the same twisted sense of humour/coping skills as their parents, and are quite comfortable with “Autism Rocks!” or “My brother got encephalitis and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” jokes. What can you come up with that makes people laugh with them?

Tag line for call centres – ‘We prey for you 24/7′
For Hyatt Hotels – ‘Home is where the Hyatt is‘.
Ben says: “I don’t know that much about staying at the Hyatt but thought that
this would have looked good on one of their ads … or maybe not …”
