    You might be a scrapper if:

    When you notice there is a piece of shrapnel working it's way out and you think "should I keep this as a souvenir or put in my mixed pile?"

    when you hear on the radio that the astronauts on the last scheduled manned space flight are cleaning up on the space station and you look up and pray that they drop some scrap onto your backyard, or onto the bed of your truck !!!

    You might be a scrapper if:

    Your ecstatic one of your tools breaks down because it is more for the pile, even though you have to spend money to buy a new one.

    You visit the yard so much, that you're on first name basis with everyone, including the woman at the cash out counter....AND they've even offered you a job.

    The only reason I would want it falling in the bed of my truck would be for the insurance claim

    You save the foil out of cigarette packs

    You've called every bar in a 25 mile radius to find out if they'll save/separate their alum cans and bottles for you

    You might be a scrapper if your wife has to tell you that there is no way you are putting that water heater in the trunk of her car.

    You are definitely a scrapper if you make her stay with the water heater while you go home and get the truck.

    You might be a scrapper if you persuade your wife take the alleys through town and tell her if we find something she'll help you load it and she says"I think it's time you found someone else to drive the alleys with." HAHA
