The Trashmen of Granada


Well, if you're having a tough day at the office, just think of these guys, who have the worst job in the entire world: Granada trashman. Each morning they rumble through the streets with their circa-1970 dump-truck to collect the basura from all the public trash receptacles in the city. There ain't no automated hydraulic lifters on those trucks; they do it by hand. Others of the crew stand in the bed of the truck, stomping down the rotten fruit, the mildewy fast-food containers, and the refuse of dogs and humans, all the while bathing in a truly awful stench. Yowzah . . .
