Who can resist the allure of something free. One man's trash is another man's treasure they say. We put a pile of free stuff in our driveway yesterday. A glider that didn't work very good and an old gas BBQ that caught on fire once so all the hoses melted & we then used it as a charcoal grill. So these people pull up in a small SUV thing. Two shirtless tattooed guys & a girl. First they try to fit the whole grill in the back of the SUV. After a few minutes & a couple different angles they couln't get it & decided to put it on top. Mind you it is full of briquette dust & stuff, but they put it on it's side, instead of upright. Some of the briquette dust dumped out on the guy putting it up there. I guess he must have thought the other guy was on the other side of the vehicle helping get it up there, because he then gives it a push to center it on top & it goes flying off the other side! Dan & I are both watching this & laughing. I wish I would have taken a picture. So they stand around it & decide to put it on top again, but they have no rope! So one guy sits in the back seat with his arm out the window holding this big old thing on top of the car, & they quickly make their getaway....leaving a trail of briquettes down the street. It was hilarious! A few minutes later someone snatched the chair too. Gotta love the free junk removal :)
We also had a stray blind dog wander into our front yard later that day. Poor old guy kept falling off the curb into the street. Since we live on such a busy street I just tied him up on our porch & a few hours later his owners drove by & found him. We have done this with a few other loose dogs too. Never fails, the owner will come driving by at some point.

Oh my gosh! That is too funny that they just drove off without even tying the BBQ down. Soooo classy! Does that guy really think he'll be able to hold onto that heavy thing if it starts to slide?!?!
That is SO funny about the BBQ! I was laughing just imagining it!
That is hilarious. Poor doggy, glad the owners came and found him! How are you guys doing? How's Juliet? We are coming down the first Sat in June, maybe we can get together?
That is just TOO funny! Have you heard the comedian Brian Regan's bit about the mattress on the car . . . same thing, you should look for it . . . I'll send it to you if I can find it! SO FUNNY!
