You Might Be a Scrapper If...... - Page 3

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.

How many kisses do you have to eat to get a pound of aluminum? Haha!

... 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.

You remove the little piece of metal from the floss container

Or the tin sheild,flint wheel and spring from Bic lighters........

You install CL apps on your kids IPods so they can keep a check on the FREE section for you!

you consider the mountain of copper/aluminum accumulating in your garage a backup savings account

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.

lol dherik.....holy moly, re-cycler, the superfluity of your above sentence is almost too copious for the diminutive imaginations of the average scrapper.

Ya, what she said,,,lol

lol Dee, I deserved it though and I almost didn't post that for that very reason. BUT....my brand new c-clamp came in handy - you got it, I used one to clamp the puncture. *Facepalm*

...if you've ever pulled the paper off of a bread tie

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.
