Give them a really good washout and reload them with peanut butter. This
would save time washing the knife when preparing your lunch.

Most recycling programs would take the plastic. But you have to clean
them first.

I must have been asleep in 1980. What problem?
As for the uninsured, Think Progress, a liberal-progressive think group, has
an interesting piece. You recall the guy who was beaten by an SEIU thug?
Turns out the victim doesn't have insurance and Think Progress is using him
as an example of why a government program is necessary.
'Course if the union members didn't go around slugging folks, the guy
wouldn't need insurance either.

Stick some batteries in them and give them to your moms (both of them) as
birthday presents. They will think you gave them new dildos.

You mean like:
- won't take medical waste?
- won't take toxic chemicals?
- won't take radioactive materials?
Don't you support businesses making their own decisions (the landfill is a
business, too)?

Ah, a professional troll.
Please read the UHC 10-K and tell me the system is efficient
(hint: 25% of your insurance payments are insurance company
overhead/profit).

You know things have gone too far when the dump starts getting picky about
what it will take.

Fill with explosives and a model rocket engine, fire at liberals. :-)
Don't use shrapnel, we don't want to harm, just scare them to their senses.
Oh no, [email protected] .
Here's something that explains a lot. I used to work with a man that was a
liberal Democrat. He said he was a Republican when younger but then got
smart. I also noted that he "got smart" and became a Democrat after some
time doing drugs on a regular basis. Now it makes sense!
I guess if the tubes were clean inside, you could cut off the closed end,
stack them up and use them for holding short pieces of drill rod, long
bolts, etc.

Hmmm, guess I could put that in one of my washes, it would probably run
about 20 minutes twice a year. At that rate, in about 1000 years it might
pay for itself. ;-)

Here's something that says it all... (I quote only approximately, from
memory)
Winston Churchill -- "A man who is not a liberal when he is young has
no heart. A man who is not a conservative when he is old has no
brain!"

Reasonable rendition of meaning but it wasn't a Churchill quote... :)
Charles Krauthammer in an op-ed piece seems to have repopularized the
misattribution some time ago quoting Churchill as saying, "If you're not
a liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you're not a
conservative when you're 40, you have no head."
Churchill was a swashbuckling soldier at 20 and a Conservative member of
Parliament at 25. A couple of years later he switched to the Liberal
Party (which was not liberal in the modern sense) returning to the
Conservatives and leading the opposition up to outbreak of WWII.
The saying appears to have originated with French politician and
historian Francois Guizot (1787-1874) as "Not to be a republican at
twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want
of head."

You can tape ten or so into long tubes for the "Woodpecker" game. Each
contestant puts a woodpecker in his tube and yells or blows on one end. The
player whose woodpecker is first to emerge from the opposite end is the
winner.
Birds escaping through a pecked hole in the side are automatic
disqualifiers.

Our recycle program requires washing of items before setting them out.
I do not recycle, but I do conserve and re-use.
