Message in a bottle: Don't litter

Poor Mr. Biggelsworth. I pity his wife. He has no sense of romance whatsoever.

the english don't need romance, they have hot water bottles

Do you think a banana peel is littering?

I would if it were dropped in the middle of a courtyard or something. I don't consider it littering if it's tossed under a bush. Then it's food for something else.

Years ago, when I smoked, I was sitting in my car at a red light, having a ciggypuff, and some green peacer pulled up next to me and yelled at me for flicking ashes.

I would have liked to make him yell by putting out the butt in his eye.

Kids, don't smoke.

I always knew it

ha, perfect

yup

Yeah, it may be food for something else, but it could be death or something nearly as bad to a human. Picture this - someone is climbing out of a 2 storey window after visiting his beautiful girlfriend (okay, so the someone is a guy) and he climbs down ledge after ledge, performing feats of acrobatics, then he jumps to the ground, lands and rolls onto his feet. He then hears his g'f's dad shouting at him, threatening him even. So he scrambles into the nearest bush and ooops! slips on that damn banana peel that chai2 through out her car window, hours ago, giving it time to get really mushy and slimy. He slips so hard, he whacks his head on a nearby oak tree that had been planted by his g/f's grandpa in memory of his wife, and he's out cold. Cold-cocked, as it were. His g'f's dad comes around the corner of the garden and sees him. He figures out what happened and, enraged, he goes inside, berates his daughter, and consigns her to a life in the convent.

Now, see what destruction you have wrought?

This could easily have been a Shakespearean play.

What if it had been an apple core, huh?

Please, chai, use your imagination. That would be nearly as bad, depending on the size, apple variety, and how much of the core was thrown so carelessly by human hand.

Plastic rubbish is a major problem in the worlds ocean. If this serves to highlite the problem I'd be quite happy.

Ear to ear reading your story.

Once in a while: "You dropped something" passes my lips when seeing a cigarette butt being dropped.
