    You eat a Hershey's Kiss, and consider saving the aluminum foil it was wrapped in.



    (Did that this morning.)

    you keep a small amount of wire in your car so you haver something to do while your stuck at a red light. I just make sure nobody is behind me. Getting bumped by another car while I have my knife open is not on my list of things to do today.

    when you no longer have a need for scissors...wire cutters are more versatile.

    ... at the end of the day you are in a blue funk because you have not added to your copper, brass or aluminum stash.

    Quitting smoking sounds a hell of a lot easier than quitting scrapping.

    Not until the flint has been used up as a torch striker!!

    OR, if your shop burns down, and you can make enough money to replace the building by cleaning up the mess.

    When you run a small screwdriver though the palm of your hand and hunt down any leftover antibiotics from the last time that happened. Twice, right through my gloves - thank someone it was a brand new clean one.

    You might be a scrapper if....

    You're standing at the Alter getting married and as your new wife is putting your new titanium ring on your finger you think to yourself I wonder what titanium is bringing.

    1) If you go to family reunions with a bucket of wire and a razor knife to pass the time.

    2) If when passing an automobile accident you first think, I hope everybody is OK, and then immediately think how much I can get for all that scrap.

    Hadn't ever thought of that one!

    Couldn't you just leave the paper on and take it in as shredder?

    :confused:
