An attempt at a humorous (????) plea for civility.
Since the word "aspersions" got truncated, the sign is borked.

Depends on whether you pronounce it 'garbage' or 'Gar-baaaggghhe' :D

And one man's trash is another's treasure, but seldom applies to the wet and squishy stuff.

From a Lewis Grizzard piece about this very issue.Did you know there was a difference between trash and garbage?

I'm nearly 40 years old, and I didn't know that. I always figured trash and garbage were the same thing, a bunch of stuff you wanted to throw away.

You live, you learn.

The other morning, I walked outside my house and I noticed the can in which I dump my refuse (a highbrow word for a bunch of stuff you want to throw away), was still full from the previous day.

There was a little note stuck to the can. It said, in essence, that my refuse hadn't been picked up because - and I quote - "trash and garbage had been mixed." What's the difference?

I had a co-worker who didn't know the difference either. She always wondered why it was such a big deal when the garbage collectors in NYC went on strike in the middle of the summer.

As I understand it, the population density in Manhattan is so high that garbage disposals in every apartment would overwhelm the sewage system - so they are illegal, and everyone has to keep an old-fashioned garbage can.

Here's one I took the other day of a sign in La Crescent, Minnesota. I don't know about you but I know what I'm doing for summer fun!

I can't wait for August.

Any bets the festival starts on Friday and ends on Sunday?

Although can you imagine getting this phone call from a buddy?

Caller: Hey, I'm down to the Crucifixion Summer Fun Fest!
You: What are you doing?
Caller: Not much. Just hanging around.

:eek2:

You can bet your bippy I'm stealing a yard sign before they go away. :grin:

Veeeery close! I'm in a tiny city surrounded by Oaktown.

Are you in Merced?

I love Google maps, and I am sure there's a measuring tool, just couldn't find it in time. And of course, I'd need exact compass heading, Mag. or True! :D
