"I do recall one several years ago in Denver in which a guy turned in a crap gun and was interviewed about using the money to buy a better gun. Needless to say the sponsors of the program were not pleased about that."
An ex gun dealer friend of mine used a 'buy back' program to dump about 30 used & useless (worn out) cheap hand guns that he once had sitting a stock room for a few years. Got more for them than they would have been ever been worth had they been in working condition. Needless to say the PD wasn't happy when they found out later on but they set the rules and he got receipts for legally turning them in. LOL.
That's what happens when you use cold water to clean dishes. ;>)
A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a secluded, rural area of the state. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film-like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather, "Are these plates clean?"
His grandfather replied, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them so go on and finish your meal."
That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of this plate, and a substance that looked like dried egg yolks. So he asked again, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"
Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore!"
Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby town. As he was leaving, Grandfather's dog started to growl and would not let him pass, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out."
Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching, Grandfather shouted, " "COLD WATER", GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
LOL! I lived just outside of Eugene for awhile and bought a t-shirt from a vendor down town that was printed with... "Eugene - We're all here because we're not all there."
