Misguided use of dumping policies

Henry Millston loved Dire Straits music. He also loved collecting glassware, but nobody really knew about that side of him. That was the real misfortune for Henry. He had a deep collection of wonderful glass, yet everyone only knew him as a one-dimensional Dire Straits fan. A lot of people do follow lead singer Mark Knopfler even today, but very few of those people know how to say his name (or are afraid to) and thus call him, "the lead singer of Dire Straits." Henry actually pronounced his name correctly, but due to his having every Dire Straits album, people assumed he was trapped in a particular era. Even when his glass collection grew to contain modern pieces, people still asked him to attend lame '80s parties as a not-too-ironic friend whose make-up was assumed to primarily consist of the years 1981-1987.

Two days ago Henry melted down his entire cassette, CD, and LP collection for scrap. He actually had to pay the sanitary department of Toledo, Ohio $71.43 to take his toxic heap even though he assumed he would be paid some small amount. The city also fined him for having an exposed toxic flame and no muffler. He went home and smoked pot and his friend Steve stopped by and put on an REO Speedwagon album. Henry then realized that things would be much worse from now on as a deep fear set its claws into him.
