During a discussion with my daughter about one of her associate’s near encounter with the Law … she disclosed that he dodged the Law by hiding in a large metal trash receptible owned either by BFI (Royal Blue) or Canadian Waste Management (CWM-Green).
A rather amusing tale of youth and stupidity. Our hero, was never apprehended for whatever his alleged ‘crime’ (eg. talking too loud or short tipping etc) but he did call his girlfriend and have to explain his whereabouts. The hero, being honest, said he spent the last couple of hours in a dumpster bin hiding (and she was furious).
He confessed that he finally came out, once he saw the flashing lights in the alley. Sure that he was surrounded by cruisers with flashing lights, he decided to turn himself in, to his relief the flashing lights were from the truck that was going to dump the bin and compress it (and to think all these years, people have blamed the Mafia for bodies in Landfill sites). He quickly jumped out, he dusted himself off and escaped really alive (she, was still furious-alternate ending-much shorter and she is only confused and worried).
In my effort to relate to my daughter’s tale of daring and adventure, I explained to her in a blase voice: most males experience ‘Dumpster Diving’ at some point of their life. Most males will never discuss this experience. It is similiar in status to losing one’s virginity. To prove the point, I regaled my daughter with my own harrowing escape from a Dumpster. The usual detail: What, When, Where, How and Why (however, no police). Been there, done that…. (Dad, stop boring me with your old stories)…
Ignoring her pleas, I went on to tell her if you ’share’ or ask another male, they will tell you their Dumpster Story (some take more coaxing, others will tell like it’s like a WWII story).
My daughter asked other males and shared tales of Dumpster Diving with them. They all had (or wished they had) somewhat similiar experiences. Some of the experiences were more exciting and some less- but more importantly, the feeling was the same – I am in a dumpster-what next? Rhetorical question of course… My suggestion is simple. If you are male, go out to the alley and find a dumpster you like (versus one not so good), climb in, and think!
How long you could hide there, or live there, is there anything of use in here, eatible, wearable? Can I make myself comfortable? What! I am not alone? (mice, rats, bums, hobos, garabologist, other males conducting similiar experiments). It is an experience, it may one few Male domains remaining.
Why not do it and just get it over with!
