Our Specialty

At Royal Flush, we believe that we give incredible service, no matter what type of event or job site we are at. But our true specialty, is the road race. One of our first big events was the New York City Marathon.Since then, we have provided portable restrooms for many other running and walking events.


As spring is right around the corner, you will find that running and walking events are happening every weekend. If you are looking for portable restrooms for your event, please contact us at 877-234-6545. We have an extensive resume of road races that we work with and we hope to add yours to it.

We look forward to hearing from you,
Alex

Investment Group Touts Toilets and Burritos as top investments

While a mystery exist over the investment of private equity money into the portable sanitation industry the attraction has caught the attention of Blue Sky Private Equity who already has expanded their investments into Australia based Viking Rental.

Blue Sky director Robertson Brooks says that the Queensland based company provides portable toilets, power poles and temporary fence and has experienced tremendous growth due to the infrastructure construction taking place. Brooks sees Viking growing into the number one provider for Queensland within the coming year.

What’s hot for this investment group seems to be portable sanitation and burritos. Apparently among some of the diverse investments this company has agreed to fund is a second in what could become a franchise "Beach Burrito Company café’. Brooks says that these two companies are the type of businesses they were looking for as investments in the new Blue Sky SME Investment Partners Fund.

Happy President's Day

Here is a little tidbit of knowledge for you:

Until 1971, both February 12 and February 22 were observed as federal public holidays to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and George Washington (February 22). In 1971 President Richard Nixon proclaimed one single federal public holiday, the Presidents' Day, to be observed on the 3rd Monday of February, honoring all past presidents of the United States of America.

Our offices will be open today, so feel free to give us a call!
Happy President's Day,
Alex

Start Monday Off With a Laugh

This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type." "
Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?" "
How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
".......Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Ah, okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

And you thought you were having trouble using a computer??
Enjoy,
Alex
