            A friend of ours has a trash-removal service that consists of a truck, a man and two children.  The youngsters tramp the load down and then lie on top to keep the trash from blowing away.

            One day the owner was driving with a friend from out of town and came upon the truck with the children lying on top as usual, holding down the trash.  “Good heavens,” the friend remarked.  “Someone is throwing away two perfectly good children.” - George W. Bishop, Jr.
