Recycling

Recycling, upload feito originalmente por Alan Jordan.

Last night during Earth hour, we were watching a show about recycling. We got so inspired that we loaded up the SUV with all our old newspapers, glass and aluminum cans. We got a little lost on the way to the recycling place so we had to drive around for about an hour and a half to find it.

We were talking to our neighbor afterwards, and he pointed out that we were throwing away a lot of crap every week. He asked us to come down to the city dump because he wanted to show us something.

When we got there, he showed us all these people who lived around the dump. The looked like extras from an old zombie movie. They had grey skin with big lumps and open sores. Some of the children even had two heads. Most of them only muttered. “What caused all this?” I asked.

Jokes, he said. Apparently jokes have become more toxic over the years. Not only do they have more profanity, but the subject matters tend to be more toxic and the overall quality has declined also. As people throw these jokes away, the toxins from the jokes seep into the soil and into the water table. Animals and people drink the contaminated water from the creeks or eat the plants grown in the contaminated soil and become contaminated themselves. As a result three headed children are popping up around landfills all over the country preparing for the apocalypse.

After seeing the damage caused by my jokes, I decided I had to do something. From now on I’ll be recycling my jokes. If you think you’re seeing a joke for the second time, it doesn’t mean I’m being lazy or that I’ve run out of ideas. It just means I’m recycling. I’m doing it for the Earth. I’m doing it for the children!
