Ok, funny story happened to me that I had to share.
Picture a hill about 100 yards up in the middle of Worcester, MA with a chain link fence on the left and a gate about 20 yards from the top. Picture me (Rob) and my co-worker/fellow grad student, Charlie, walking up said hill. I'm is carrying a 50 pound ceramic sink. Picture the police officer that stops his patrol at the top of said hill and stares dumbfounded at the guy carrying a sink up a hill at 9:00 at night.
Picture me walking the next 50 yards up the hill with the sink trying not to burst into hysterics. Charlie stops dead in his tracks.
Rob: I have a question for you.
Officer: And I have a question for you.
Rob: I'll bet you have. You're wondering why I'm carrying a sink.
Officer: (with a slight scowl) Yes, I am.
Rob: (still trying not to burst into laughter) Well, you see, I remodeled my bathroom, only my town won't take this in the trash. What I need is a construction grade dumpster, like the one over there (gestures with head nod towards fence and dumpster behind it).
Officer: (just waits)
Rob: Is that ok?
Officer: I'm sure it's not.
Rob: (just waits)
Officer: So what do we do?
Rob: (repositions sink against body to free his right hand and makes a well known gesture as best he could) These aren't the droids you're looking for...you can go about your business (repeat gesture)...move along(repeat gesture) (At this point I'm practically pissing myself from holding in the laughter)
Officer: (tries very hard to keep a straight face) I'm going this way...(walks around corner)
Rob: (just waits)
From around the corner: (laughter erupts)
I smirk uncontrollably and walk through the gate. I then heave the sink into the large dumpster...*CLANG!!!!*
From around the corner: (laughter is QUITE audible)
Rob and Charlie run back to truck LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!
