Boy Collected

Finally, a reason for those "do not play in or around dumpster" signs. At least his parents were recycling.

News said:Teen compacted in garbage truck Associated Press 8:19 AM CST, November 5, 2008 MILWAUKEE - A teenage boy survived after he was accidentally dumped into the back of a recycling truck and compacted. Police say the 14-year-old Milwaukee boy ran away from a boot camp-style school for teens Monday and hid among cardboard in a large recycling bin. A Waste Management truck arrived and picked up the bin with its mechanical arms, dumping the contents into it's rear compactor. Waste Management spokeswoman Lynn Morgan says the truck continued on its collection route, compacting cardboard several times. The boy was semiconscious when he was finally spotted after the truck dumped its load at a recycling processing center in suburban Germantown. He was taken to Children's Hospital in nearby Wauwatosa (wah-wah-TOH'-sah). Police say the boy's injuries aren't life-threatening.

Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that.

There's a Star Wars Episode IV joke in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it.

We often work side by side with the cops. Everybody hides in dumpsters. They don't even need the dogs to find the bad guys most of the time.

Next time I run away I'm dressing up like a ninja. Nobody ever finds dem.

Proving, once again, that there are few occasions in life when a quote from "Better Off Dead" is not appropriate.
