[Ads-l] "business" as euphemism: linguistics in comics pt. 2?

[Amy West]

Sorry, should have gotten to the end of my comics e-mail first.

Here's another one with an example of "business" being used 
euphemistically for dog feces, which is a logical semantic extension 
from the use in the euphemistic phrase "do <one's> business":

"Just look at that. Great Danes are the best!"

"Yeah, if you like cleaning up business with a forklift!"

Again, linguistics in comics for them wots collects 'em.
