As an American I accept septic as a normal way of disposing of waste. Not offensive at all. Now the Florida Keys has a brand new sewer system so septic systems are gone. Two years ago that was the only way to dispose of waste. We had the same system on our farm growing up. Why do people get so up tight about nothing? My polish roomate knew every polish joke and loved to tell them. Learn to laugh at yourself, it makes you healthier.
