Who's doin what

Back in my early days, I used to be employed by Streets and Sanitation of a fairly large city. Many times, it could get very old and make you question your existence. Especially on cold rainy days. So...we used to play a game called "who's doin what". Who's doing what was played by taking a few extra seconds to examine the trash before you dumped it/crushed it. And if we got a good one, we could tell something about the people who live there. For example, we might be able to tell that Mr. So and So on Ninth Avenue likes to drink too much Maker's Mark or that Johnny Fastlane Jr. hosted a bachelor party that weekend etc... At the end of the shift, we'd vote on the winner by whoever found the juiciest evidence or came up with the best storyline based on what was in the trash. You might think we're just guys that pick up your trash, but oh the books we could write!!

So did you find my dad's playboy's? I threw them away in a desperate attempt to camoflauge the scene of the crime. They would be from June or July of 1978. Let me know---Johnny.
