Who remembers when garbage men actually had to get out, heft the can and dump it manually? Now they only jump out of the truck if it starts on fire. Lazy.

In Doug's neighborhood they not only do in manually they handle it twice - once to load it onto the F-150, and then again when transferring it to the actual garbage truck.

Oddly, considering how many daily reps they did of can-hefting, many of them still looked like they needed to go to the gym.
