funny computer case story .

last night was trash night here. I had a small gutted hp computer case i needed to get rid of . I also had to change the kitty litter so what I do . I put the bag of cat litter in the case and but the covers back on. placed the case out to the curb and today i go and look out and the case is gone. but the reg.trash has not been picked up yet or the recycle . someone is in for a nasty suprize when they check that computer out . and find out all they got was a bag of crap.

Ha ha... yeah, I've seen that happen in front of my house too.

Just this past week, I threw out an old toddler basketball goal that was broken at the base. It was only out on the trash for about 2 hours before someone scooped it up. I mean it was completely severed at the base.

Oh well.. I guess they'll find some duct tape or something to piece it back together and use it.

I'd say it was an upgrade... At least for the "Compaq" heritage within it.

Good one - I'd have done that too. I hate "dead space" in the garbage. My wife thinks it's funny when I throw away a jar, I always have to "pack it" with other garbage. It's all about efficiency, really.

A) Source?
B) At the very least it does save land fill space.
C) Recycling paper saves trees right?

A) Google.com - I found it once, you can find it too.
B) & C) both are considered in the equation.

I'll believe recycling makes economic sense when someone knocks on my door and asks to buy my garbage.
