Trash Talk

well it was just a matter of time, before i had to forsake the funny stuff and tend to a serious matter. sorry but it can't be all fun and games. that's life, so suck it up and hang on, you might even learn something here. as my beloved faithful readers all know i am all about keepin' it green. however do not think that means that i am on board with this global warming scare because i am not. no more than i was on board with the global cooling scare of the seventies. but we will address that issue in a future post. a little fyi, things are about to get philosophical here just so you don't get caught off guard. so back to the matter at hand. we all know, or should know the three "r"s, right? it's that triangly arrowed do-dad. reduce, reuse and recycle. hopefully we don't all just know them but everybody is living them. so let me explain to you the irony of my situation and the duality of my condition. i work in the manufacturing industry, building automobiles. everyone knows that the two biggest pollutants of our precious planet are................yeah that's right, the manufacturing industry and automobiles, yet i still strive to keep it green in every way . there in lies the irony of my situation and the duality of my condition. it's a real paradoxical conundrum that i have to live with every day people. so as customary here at my house, last sunday evening i was putting out the trash and most importantly the recycle bin for monday morning pick up when i am confronted by a neighbor out for his evening stroll. he walks by and calls me a hypocrite. well....thanks to my calm and unflappable demeanor i didn't open up a can of whoppin' on him. but i did inquire as to the meaning of his offensive accusation. and he says, i know you work over there at that car factory with its big smoke stacks belchin' and chemical water spewing into elkhorn creek. but you put your recycle bin in front of your house for everyone to see. so i looked him square in the eyes and said, do you know who's really to blame? it's the Japanese......................................keep it green folks!!!! p.s. hey a man's gotta eat
