I found a tire weight in the driveway of Jiffy Lube the other day. Not wanting to "steal" from them if they scrapped in-house, I asked the girl if they recycled them. Shes goes "what is that, a bullet?" *FACEPALM* I said its a tire weight, do you recycle them? Its on my desk now LOL Apparently I need to go around to all the jiffy lubes and tell them to save them for me, you know, for the environment.

And from the Internet news file...... One reporter thought that orange ear plugs on the ground were rubber bullets (obviously he never did any useful work a day in his life). And a gal saw a pile of some various lost screw driver tips, Torx, phillips and slotted, and was appalled that "assault rife bullets" were just laying on the ground.
