when working on a ship, we throw food waste over the side, at sea that is, not alongside!
anyway one of the lads was ditching some cardboard box's and said was there anything else, that could go, i said there was some waste in a green bucket in the galley (kitchen) that could go in, so off he went to top up his cardboard box,
he returned a minute later to say, the waste had soaked through the cardboard?????
instead of the bucket of waste,
he had poured a bucked of water into the box.......
