Kramer and Newman should've tried the Phoenix-to-LA route

Just take the liquor out of the boxes. How would it get proven that it was purchased in Alberta?

 

I did this when I lived in New Hampshire and I thought I was slick for pocketing $2 a month or whatever when I returned the empties in Mass.

 

Game, set, match.

 

I'm actually running the numbers to see if a similar, ahem, business plan could be a possibility later when I move out west.

Play blackjack/bet college football Thursday to Sunday -- run trucks full o' Mr. Pibb cans to Barstow and Bakersfield Monday to Thursday.

I'd just some low-stress square job for the IRS forms and the health insurance.

 

Next? They've been doing that for a while now. They're quite adept at multi-tasking when it comes to these sorts of things. But keeping the streets clear of homeless people and feces? That's too much to ask.

 

Of course it will premiere at Cannes.

 

The California recycling program has created a cottage industry for the homeless and bums to go through every public trash can and pull out bottles and cans.

I can't imagine they are making much money, though. When we saved recyclables, we never seemed to get back the 5 cents per container we paid upon purchase. Now we just put them in the recycle bin that goes to the curb each week. It's among the three trash receptacle we have -- one each for trash, recyclables and green waste.

 

The best rate of return I ever got was from a pop machine in Ohio that had Michigan 10 cent markings on them. I'd ask my friends for their empties. I lived about eight miles from the Michigan border, so over time I'd collect enough to make it worth my while to go up there and cash them in.

I'm pretty sure I just admitted to a misdemeanor crime, but...statute of limitations!

 

I loved Mr. Pibb.
And the ones that tell me that Mr. Pibb and Dr. Pepper is the same can pucker up and kiss my fat white ass.

Pibb > Pepper

 

Hate to burst all your California-hating bubbles, but the recycling biz is declining rapidly.

Californians are recycling bottles less and less. Here's what's going on
