    On the bottom of the dumpter..is a $5 dollar bill..it looks a little muddy down there..and the smell..peeeeuuuu..it has some watermelon rinds, cigarette butts and coffee grounds, and hair from someones recent haircut on the bottom. there is no other trash..the garbage truck came this morning..the only way to get it is to jump in, stand on the bottom and pick it up..but your shoes are gonna get some goo on them. Would you do it?

    i would if it was my last five and it meant a break from having to spend all day waiting in soup lines.

    hell i might anyway, i mean it's a five, even if that don't buy much, depends on what i'm wearing at the time, the location, how i happend to know/notice it was there, et c.

    five bux will at least by me a decent size chocklet bar. and since i HAVE a home where i can chainge and wash the stink off, yah, i'd definately consider it.

    i guess having scotsmen in one side of my family and jews in another don't hurt either.

    I would carefully lean in, and forge some kind of contraption like a cloths pin with a reach and just fish it out. Ive never looked inside a dumpster though so i dont think ill ever need to.

    Nope. Not worth it to me.

    Probably not seeing as I have no plans for going to the US in the near future and it just wouldn't be worth it to exchange it to pounds... plus also, I'd probably think it's monopoly money anyway and not real money coz dollars look weird. :D

    I got a parking ticket from the University of Washington and since I don't go there and don't live in WA I didn't pay it. When they found me anyway and said they'd get a collection agency, I gave in but accidently dropped the letter in the dumpster with my trash. It landed in the dumpster water, so I fished it out with a stick and mailed it off. Hope they sniffed it.

    I climb into dumpsters almost everyday if I see something good in it. 5 dollar bill definitely. Although if it was a dumpster filled with fish guts or something gross, I might have second thoughts.
