I often skim articles and replies quickly. At first, I thought you wrote “I like tossing an empty beer can onto somebody’s lawn...” and then “Here’s a whole new research area for Hannah.”
That was my cousin’s theory on whether or not tossing his empty beer cans on his neighbor’s front lawn was littering after the MI 10-cents per returnable bottle or can went into effect. He ‘reasoned’ that it was a fair deal since he was practically throwing his money out the window in exchange for the peace of mind of not having the empties rolling around on the floor of his or his buddies’ car. At first, I thought it made perfect sense. If I was 15 then, I probably would’ve said that just so I could tag along without them thinking I was some kind of “narc”.
