I can understand the sentiment... I truly can.  :whistle:
See? I just thanked the Lord for my freedom and moved on.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Another time in a green room on a construction site, pulled up my britches and felt the pocket flip over... Saw the wallet bounce on the seat... Even took a swipe at it... Nope.

There was 400 bucks in that wallet.
Driver's license.
Fishing license.

I thought about it, I really did...
But about 40 construction guys had been doing their business in there... Every morning there's a line around 10 o'clock...
NOPE.

I can do it. And HAVE done it... Is it worth it for 400 bucks?
NOPE. Oddly enough, it wasn't worth it to anyone else there at the time, as I'd have gladly paid em the money to get the rest of the wallet back. Not a one.

So you're welcome to it.

Not quite that long...but a wallet should have some floater factor...A lot would depend on the last time the thing had been cleaned out.

LOL! Like I said, you'd have been welcome to try.

I'm a redneck. I am in sh*t every day of my life.
I wasn't willing to go scuba-diving in that tidy-bowl. And neither was anyone else - INCLUDING the sh*t-pumper guy who could have sucked the most of it out and have a whole lot less to deal with.

Oh, I'll do it... Worst I ever been was in a cold-water irrigation well a cow fell into...
By the time they found her, she was dang near soup. bones disarticulated...

It was AWFUL being down in that well... and even with a wet-suit, the stank of it didn't wear off for months. I might do that again... but it would cost you plenty.

No thanks! I had too many experiences as a plumber doing commercial work, What is it about people when you tell them no using the toilet and they say yes I understand but the second you have cut out the piece of overhead sewer line they take a huge dump and flush it? I also was down in the collection tank of a campground to strip and recoat the concrete tank...same, excuse me shit! I told the boss nope no more, I wanna go back to working in nice clean research and virology labs.

HAHAHA! Being a painter as my last official business before I got sick, We've done industrial sewage tanks - Not too many companies will deal with old skool epoxies like that... But being painters, they know we get a little uppity... The tank was given to me already pumped and steam cleaned, and of a surety, with both the inlet(s) and outlet(s) properly plugged so there could be no surprises.

So all we had to do is get through the acid etching, pressure wash, and then get seriously stoned on epoxy fumes in an enclosed space. Epoxy is a pretty nice high if you eat a big greasy burger beforehand (tech hack)... But either way, you get lit as hell, even with a proper mask.

So epoxy day was always a blast.  :laugh:

It's simply astounding how all of those oh-so-vociferous feminists are oh-so-silent now when real men who have a sexual fetish for playing dress-up are actually coopting women's events and women's accomplishments, and generally colonizing the concept of being female.

And with the most ridiculous stereotypes of femaleness. How many real women even come close to resembling the cartoonishness of this bloated nutjob in NH or the drag queens on TV?
