Garbage disposals (Bryson)
April 5th, 2008 | Published in Humor and Satire, Quotes, Technology
A garbage disposal is everything a labor-saving device should be and so seldom is—noisy, fun, extremely hazardous, and so dazzlingly good at what it does that you cannot imagine how you ever managed without one. If you had asked me eighteen months ago what the prospects were that shortly my chief amusement in life would be placing assorted objects down a hole in the kitchen sink, I believe I would have laughed in your face, but in fact it is so.
—Bill Bryson, I’m a Stranger Here Myself (Broadway Books: 1999), pp. 59-60.
