How great to see you in here, Kevin. That's right. Dumps ain't what they used to be. I have a long history of sump diving. Why, the house I was born in was built on the site of a city dump long since abandoned and citified, and I had a good friend whose father was a junk collector, and they lived at a dump. I whiled away many an hours with my buddies, scavenging at the city dump and we found a lot of good stuff. Now, they don't want you to take anything away from the dump. There's no logical reason for that that I can figure out.

My buddies who worked at the dump not only salvaged thigns for themselves, but also to give to people. They gave me an almost full box that held 2,500 sheets of typewriter paper I still haven't worked my way through. They had a sense of humor, too.

A sense of humor is as endangered as city dumps.
