I'll bet they don't have that in Indiana. Indiana is absofuckinlutely pristine. I bet truckers hold it all the way across.
I think they're just more motivated to stop at the truck stops because they know the quality of cum-garglers in Indiana is the best in the country. Not necessarily in talent, but enthusiam.
Thread's over, you win.

I think, if there WERE a deposit on the bottles, the truckers MIGHT manage to hold on to the bottles until they do make a stop anyway. Without a deposit, the only thing really keeping them from tossing them whenever they feel like it is a conscience about the environment.
Shelli I just wanted to check and make sure that you are OK emotionally. I mean after godfry totally fucking burned you by threatening to, uh, make a donation to your local humane society in your name. Talk about getting owned! I can't even imagine how I would react if someone gave money to a charity!
Shelli does your county have some kind of donor-funded Bladerunner-type animal control system?
Because that sounds pretty badass.
omg.. would it!

Shelli's making friends again I see.
Axehole?
Nah, I wouldn't put godfry in that category. Athough, all I did to warrant his negative attention was at Adams jokes. Go figure, but, whatever. I really don't give a shit. The only reason why I fed into it at all last night was because I was bored.

Yeah, it's been pretty rough for me. It really took a toll on my sleep last night and today. I had taken the day off today to catch up on my rest and I only slept on the couch 'till 3:00 today rather than 4:00. A travesty, I tells ya. Somehow, I'll pull through it though.

Well...It seems quite widespread a practice and there are a reported nearly a million bottles of urine disposed along US highways...I'm not sure of the period in which that number was collected, but it is on page 21, IIRC, of this report:
NCHRP Synethsis 394: Reducing Litter on Roadsides - A Synthesis of Highway Practice by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies. NCHRP is the National Cooperative Highway Research Program; their membership can be found listed on the introductory pages of the report. It's in .pdf form, but available in .html format, which I found easier to read and search. It's fresh stuff, too...2009 release date.
On a related note, be careful of MRE bags, they're used for solid waste. (In the old days, shell casings were handy for it)
That said, I'm aware of one tanker who just hung on to the side of his tank and downloaded processed food whilst on the move. Not as if the invasion was going to stop because one guy on one tank needed to go.
NTM

"Soda cans, beer bottes, blown-out tires, hub caps, milk cartons - anything you can think of. Trash is what it is,"

A review by his organization of nine state studies of litter, including those in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the Northeast, found that 13 percent of roadside trash was takeout food packaging, 12.9 percent was snack wrappers, 12.1 percent was miscellaneous paper and 12 percent was miscellaneous plastic. The rest was an assortment of vehicle debris, construction debris and miscellaneous metal and glass.
---
One study in Texas found that 61 percent of the litter there was paper-based, 25 percent was plastic and 10 percent was metal.
---
Interestingly, in the Texas study, among the items whose brand names could be discerned, Marlboro was the clear leader, accounting for 31 percent of all such trash, including butts and packaging. (Marlboro lights made up 18 percent and Marlboro regulars accounted for 13 percent.) Items from the Texas Lottery and McDonald's, with 3 percent each, and Bud Light, Coca-Cola, Burger King and Dr. Pepper, with 2 percent each, followed.
---
Clearly, though, litter is cultural. In San Francisco, a litter study found discarded chewing gum outnumbered discarded cigarette butts seven to one.
Oh, hey, that reminds me, it's sort of a game to me now to tally the litter on the drive from home to soccer and back. The standing record is 9 identifiable items, with a maximum of 2 items on any given trip being discarded bottles or cans.

Reason: 7 is not 9

You live in a very clean place.
Jail inmates and probationers doing their community service clean up trash along the highway about a mile west of Rancho Pobrecito several times a year. When they do, they fill a garbage bag about every 100-150 yards, mostly with cans and bottles, both plastic and glass. Thank goodness the state doesn't mow all that often or it would be unsightly as hell.
The backroads are worse. Along roads near Rancho Pobrecito people throw old sofas and dishwashers in the ditch along with entire garbage bags of garbage. It's sofa king nice.

Regular sofas, no, sleeper sofas, yes, ban them by all means. Sleeper sofas cost too much in chiropractic treatments, both for the people forced to sleep on them and for people forced to move them.
