“The Law of the Garbage Truck™”


"Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.

So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier."

I have a favorite place for dumping. I take a Popular Mechanics, American hunter, or Cabela's catalog. I then turn on the vent, grab some matches and place myself upon the throne for 20-30 minutes. No more stress.

that is about 19-29 minutes too long spent with the mighty porcelin king.

That's what I like about John. He's the only one that doesn't complain about taking all of my crap. I love you John. Thanks for all the crappy memories. It must stink to be you sometimes. Especially when someone really lets you have it. I don't know how you do it.

Good advice. Unsolicited trash sitting on one's doorstop makes for a bad day.

Now if the philosophers of this world could come up with some good advice for explaining the concept of karma to those who do the most dumping.

The ones who dump, dump, dump and then cry "foul" when the garbage they spew finally ends up back on their own doorsteps. They get all pouting and act surprised when the ones they "garbaged" call them out for their behavior.

The philosophers of this world could always use my words of wisdom in this situation.

To these type of dumpers I say..."Poopey nuggets on you. If you have the grapenuts to dish it out, at least have the grapenuts when the trash come flying back at you."

I'm grateful to be in a family that takes responsibility for their own garbage dumping. Like Bryan, who come what may in 20-30 minutes still proudly exclaims "I made that stinky!"

Ewww. I just grossed out myself. But man, my brothers would have loved it. No one say a word to my mother!
