That was a really, but I mean a really good post. It was funny and heartstopping at the same time and the sort of farce that would sit nicely in the canon of the work of John Cleese or Jim Carey. I'm afraid I would have swept it into a corner and covered it with leaves-I'm such a wimp. <em>Les Says: Ah, John Cleese.... my hero! Jim Carey, Old Rubber-Face, himself, I'm still not talking to, cuz he never comes back to Canada anymore, the bastard. And not a leaf to be found to bury nary a battery at MY J.O.B. When I sweep a parking lot, I sweep it GOOD.</em> OMIGOSH!

I too would have thought those same thoughts. If I pick it up, will the cops burst out of the bushes, If I hand it in, will the boss snort it all, laughing at my naivete... If I hand it to the police... how do I get it there without being at risk of being arrested and accused of dealing? Will the cops take it, laugh at me as I leave, then snort it? If I pick it up, will a gang of bandana'd crazies kill me with a machete? These thoughts stem from a damaging experience. I was once in the wrong place, at the wrong time. As a result, I became a suspect in a murder enquiry. I lost my house, my job, and my sanity. I became scared to look into any alleys, bushes, dumpster etc, in case i saw a hand... or a foot... because I was sure that the police, frustrated in not finding the murderer, were preparing to manufacture evidence against me. And I'd be in jail until I was an old old man. My friends would evaporate. My family would never look me in the eye again. One day, I'll write it all out. But right now, I'm sweating, my heart is pounding... Seven years ago. And it grips my heart like an angry fist. <em>Les Says: I hope you do write it all out sometime, Soubriquet.
