10 Bucks
Had an interesting experience a the dump today. The dump is really not an accurate description. Technically it is a "resource recovery facility". In my county it is run by an agency called OCRRA. The picture on the left is the scene of the crime while the picture on the right is the trash burning plant.

I loaded up the pickup with a variety of household refuse and headed out to the transfer station. It's a right of spring that we do every year and like most years it takes at least two trips to rid ourselves of that which 2 months ago we thought we couldn't live without or most certainly would need at some time. The first trip was about a week ago and it cost $7.50 for the load. Today was a similar load and when I got to the booth to pay the gentleman said $19.50. I took the 50 cents change from my $20 and walked back to my truck shaking my head and wondering what had weighed so much? The shaking must have loosened something up because I had a thought. I rummaged through the trash bag I keep routinely hang on the shifter arm and found the last weigh bill and compared them. hmmmm this time the "empty" truck was 240 pounds lighter. This didn't make any sense so I drove back over to the booth to talk with the attendant about it. Suddenly it hit me. Balaams_Ass weighs near 220 pounds, take into account difference in the amount of gas and viola'. The bonehead attendant didn't weigh the truck with me in it. I did learn another valuable fact. If my lovely wife decided to kill me and take my body to the dump. It would cost 10 bucks to get rid of my body, provided of course I hadn't de-hydrated too much by the time she brought me there.
