Racetrack to give out free bags of poo

You know what's better than a free bag of poop? A free bag of the poop of a champion!

Duh.

It's happening in - you guessed it! - Paris.

A racetrack there will be handing out bags of horse dung to everyone who comes out to their main event this Saturday, the AFP reports.

Who doesn't love a homemade party favor?!

But these special totes aren't filled with your run-of-the-mill doodie, folks. According to the masterminds of operation "Champions' Dung," the bags will be filled only with the finest "high-end, 100-percent natural, guaranteed non-genetically modified, French-origin" poop.

I challenge you to remember the last time someone handed you a load of you-know-what that came with a guarantee.

The organizers of the giveaway say it's all a bid to get folks to tend to their gardens in style. Well, that and deal with the 20 kilos of dung produced every day by the country's horse population.

Advance samples of the prized piddles were given out in a red velveteen jewelry box-type thingy, the AFP reports. They came with a leaflet featuring a picture of a horse dropping on a silk cushion, a fantastically humorous afterthought that I am in no way making up.

I don't know about you guys, but France just moved up a notch or two in my book.
