Kicker: Dumpster driving

NICK EICHER: Well, Scott Greenberg was driving past a construction site in Ft. Myers, Florida last week when he couldn’t believe his eyes:

GREENBERG: I had to do like a double take. And I seen a car on top a dumpster. And I’m like, are you serious?

NICK EICHER: Yes, quite. An SUV perfectly balanced on a dumpster. Could this be a prank?

GREENBERG: And then I text my buddy. I’m like, is that fair game? Is that free? It’s in the dumpster. I wasn’t sure.

NICK EICHER: Ah, not exactly. The construction crew had a schedule to keep and the aforementioned S-U-V was simply in the way.

So a deft forklift operator got ’er done … lifted the vehicle and cleared a path.

Only later on was the SUV put back in a proper parking space.

But isn’t it funny the first thought was a dumpster diving opportunity?
