(7,794 posts)I'm getting the impression that rich people have means to prevent landfills conveniently operating in their neighborhoods. So where do they take it, the excess of the excessive? I'm sure they have to haul off the loose change from time to time, the 1's and 5's laying around accumulate and block access to the Bentley. Don't want to be accused of hoarding, do we? And everyone knows that fumes from burning money is hazardous. Though father usta' say, "you can always tell how well a house is doing by the numbers of dollar ashes in their summer firepits". And a few bundles of fifties do get a grand fireplace roaring in a trice, come's a cold winter morning. Better than balsa, some say. Had a neighbor who kept his in an oubliette built special for the purpose. He sent an accountant down on a rope to tidy up a bit and hadn't heard of him since. He'd say, "Can't trust those crafty bean counters, ya' know. I place my trust in the trash man." But even he didn't know where it was hauled to and when the trashman bid on a parcel in the neighborhood the joke was on him, wasn't it? Neighbors, some things never change.
