The Top 14 Signs Your Neighbor
Doesn't Care About the Environment
- Every Friday it's the same: he stokes up the Weber with bristle cone pine, and throws on another panda and some whale ribs.
- That slick of "suntan lotion" on the Hazelwoods' pool is killing off the birds.
- When you complain about the pile of tires burning in his back yard, he explains that a charcoal barbecue just doesn't do justice to California condor burgers.
- His bug-free and unnaturally green lawn has earned him enough frequent sprayer miles for a free trip to Bhopal.
- His concept of recycling involves a six-pack and the tree on your front lawn.
- He sells dolphin-fishing nets made from the rings from all the 6-packs he drinks.
- He has a 6-cylinder gas-powered newspaper bundler.
- You hear him shouting back at his TV, "Yeah? Well only YOU can prevent me from sticking that shovel up your ass!"
- His "birdfeeder" makes zapping noises like one of those bug lamps.
- Always brings "Spotted Owl Surprise" to your potlucks.
- Buries drifters in back yard much too close to the aquifer.
- Electric car? Sure, but check out those baby seal fur seat covers.
- An EPA agent knocks on your door after investigating your complaint, doesn't say much -- he just wants to be held.
and the Number 1 Sign Your Neighbor Doesn't Care About the Environment...
- "Bush" on the mailbox, oil derrick in the front yard.
