The Definition of Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Adverb, Verb

  1. The act of only picking up trash 2 days a week (very upsetting to parents who have 3 children in diapers, who poop like it is their job).
  2. The insult of a  6 am collection time when most parents are desperately grasping for those last remaining vestiges of sleep. 
  3. The requirement that one must wake at an unholy hour to set out trash for pickup so as to not have their garbage attacked by a menagerie of wild animals  
  4. Awakening to a yard littered with yesterday's diapers and Saturday's rotten broccoli.
  5. Forgetting to wake at said unholy hour, resulting in piles of trash bags taking up residence in ones garage, all the while emitting an odor that would make the dead gag. 
  6. Opening one's garage door while lugging 10 bags of garbage only to see the trash truck driving away .
  7. The resulting tearing of trash bags on garage door as one chases the truck
  8. The look of superiority given by the man hanging on the back of the truck that says "you should have set your alarm".
  9. The feeling of murderous rage and no way to release it since garbage man is long gone.
