My garbageman drives a fully restored '61 corvette. He lives about 3 blocks
from where I do. As you say, nothing wrong with being a garbageman.

Reminds me of the college professor in NYC who sneered at the garbage
men's
strike back in the '60s. I asked him how much of a problem it would create
if
all the teachers in the city struck for 6 weeks. There isn't a damned
thing
wrong with being a garbage man. What's wrong with your guy is not his job.
