Funniest interchange I ever heard at a 7-11 was between a Mexican trying
to tell an Afghani what cigarettes he wanted.
"Maaboalice"
"I'm sorry"
"Maaboalice"
"Uh"
Pointing, "Maaboalice"
Marlboro Lights was what I was able to figure out.

<lol> That is funny. :-)
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was being put down by a
Brit' when I was in college.
I made a (not derogatory) comment about his accent, trying to see if he
was from England or Australia. He had a strong Cockney accent.
He told me that _I_ was the one with the accent.
He spoke English. <g>

Good luck on the BiL's turkey.
Peace, right back at ya.

Less stuff for the landfill too. I have no idea why they never asked me
again after the first 3 truckloads a few years ago. Probably did not
want to Impose on me. My fault I did not follow up on that or I could
have been doing it all this time. There were other "issues" at the time
with a new boss and rotating shifts.

I'm curious. Why are the linens thrown away? Where are they from that they
can't be washed and reused? |

They are beginning to wear out or have minor faults, or are not
"facility" linens (they come in with patients from nursing homes or EMS
units), small stains, etc.
I think that they also have expiration dates believe it or not. <g>
I have 2 of the most lovely kitchen timers that came from the lab
because their calibration dates expired and they were cheaper to replace
than to have officially calibrated.
The laundry tech I spoke with today said that they have a LOT of EMS
blankets that then need to dump, and winter cometh! I KNOW I can give
those away!
Most linen discards do actually find new "homes". It's just a matter of
someone wanting to take the time and trouble. I distributed those three
pickup truck loads to veterinarians, wildlife rescue, the local animal
shelter, and (since we did re-sort them), the local youth and women's
shelter. Some are in better shape than others.
They never gave them to me "dirty", they were always washed/cleaned too!
Lots of waste in industry in general and Health Care is no exception.
Some of those linens are even going to Mexico and Honduras...

That boss lasted 3 years before they fired his sorry ass.
Rotating shifts destroy people both physically and mentally.

<lol> Thanks! I just hope he does not over-cook it.
That's the biggest mistake most people make with those birds.
