Your Dump Man is my Nose Blower In The Booth Next To Mine At The Restaurant Guy. Yeah, exactly.

Nice post. Really nice post. You’ll see it again in my next carnival.

Well, since I was one of your advisors, I guess I can fill in some of the details of who and what the Dump Man is. The Dump Man is not human…he looks like a cross between the guy whose wife “runnoft” in O Brother and Junior from Texas Chainsaw Massacre…..He dines exclusively on roadkill and sleeps in the pile of tires around back…His name is John and he got hit by a truck back in the 70′s, he can’t do anything so now he wants to screw up everything you do….Do not speak to him and do not ask for help…he won’t tear you to shreds, but you’ll wish he had….and something I find a little scary, I have never seen any person dumping trash more than once….I was there last week and as I pulled to a stop at the dumpster, “Hotel California” was playing on the radio….It’s true what they say, “You can check out any time you want but you can never leave….”

You’re a man’s girly girl if you dump your own trash. You rock!

I think we share the same dump Tish.

I too know of this crazy old man, he walks by and look in the bed of my truck – at my black bags of trash – as if to be judging them worthy or not. The reason I use black bags is so he can’t get an idea of what I’m throwing away.

Once I got into an argument with him. I have a small Toyota pickup. There is a sign that says you are limited to “One 8×5 bed load + one trailer” or some such rules about using the trash bins. My bed is 5×4 if that. No trailer. I’m hauling away my old kitchen, and on the second trip he gives me flack because the sign says “One”. I tell him my truck is not at the size limit and point at the guy with the F350+flat bed trailer tossing over what looks like a complete mobile trailer cut into pieces. He finally walked off saying it was “okay this time”.

But that’s the day Mike fought the Dump Man, and Mike Won.

We have a guy here that just drives up and down the road checking out any unfortunate woman that happens to be in her yard as he drives past. He almost comes to a complete stop on our one lane road, and you can see the drool hanging from his lip. Any age will do. I’ve seen him stare at girls from 12 years old, to my 80+ neighbor.

Oh yea, and he only has one arm. (I hope I don’t offend any one armed people that may read this). His other arm is missing from the elbow down. Whenever a lady catches him staring, he proceeds to wave his severed arm at them and they hide behind the nearest bush, car, tree, that they can find.. Needless to say, they are not pleased. (Again, no offence to any people that are missing limbs…this guy is just weird.)

Maybe this guy needs to pay Dump Man a visit. They could become best friends!

Tish, the dump man does work Saturdays, someone had to unlock the gate. Best to travel in pairs when heading off to the dump, but if you must go it alone be careful. Many a young maiden have mysteriously disapeared never to be heard from agin when encountering the Dump Man.
