How to Throw Away a Garbage Can
When we first married, as we moved into the new house, I asked Diana how to throw away a garbage can. It was largely academic, we needed the old owners can as a spare anyway, so she just dismissed me.
Well, an animal had been getting into our old can, and with the holes in it we decided to buy a new one with a locking lid. This time the question wasn’t academic. On Monday I tried putting the can out empty next to the others. No good, it was still there after the garbage men passed. Then, last night, I tried putting the garbage can in the recycling bin.
It didn’t really fit, so it just kind of balanced at an angle on top, but one of the garbage men noticed it, looked inside, and asked the others what to do. The other guy shouted, “just toss it in.”
So that’s how to throw out a garbage can.
