RAMALA: Zork, my old printer has died; I need to get rid of it. ZORK: Too big for 'small electrical appliances' bank of recycle, I assume? RAMALA: Yeah. ZORK: Household waste tip? RAMALA: The council website says you have to book an appointment, & provide the registration number of your vehicle. I don't have a vehicle. ZORK: But your house under ten-minute walk from site, no? RAMALA: It is, yes. But when I click the 'I'm a pedestrian' button on the page, it tells me only some sites have pedestrian access, the nearest being two towns away. I can't get to that site because I don't have a car. If I did have a car, I wouldn't need to, since they'd let me in at the local one. ZORK: This be nuts. RAMALA: Perhaps I should walk it down there and sit on the kerb outside until someone drives up, and try to thumb a lift with them through the gate. It's no wonder people fly-tip. ZORK: Aha—Have idea: bring printer into office; Zork will dump out of airlock on next trip home to Titan! RAMALA: Isn't that a bit irresponsible? ZORK: Asteroid belt now consist largely of discarded consumer goods anyway.
