Have you ever had to dig around in the garbage to find something you or your kids accidentally tossed? I've stuck my hand into more messy garbage disposals and cans than you can imagine. I've dived for retainers, pacifiers, jewelry, toys and lots more.
But what a great feeling to complete the rescue.
Last week's paper told the story of a man in south Florida who, when he threw away his razor, accidentally threw his wife's 1.5-carat ring into the garbage. And it, along with tons of other things, made its way to the dump.
He went after it. After lots of rummaging in knee deep smelly yuke, and at one point, throwing up, he "hit pay dirt" when he recognized a pink cup from his wife's favorite yogurt shop. He kept digging until he found their own personal garbage bag - and eventually discovered the ring in a puddle of black sludge. ''
Man, I know the feeling.
