Losing Virginity

19th January 2009

I guess Madonna said that losing her virginity was a career move. Big Deal! Losing virginity is a career move for all plastic bags. This bag is also made with virgin plastic and the virginity was lost the moment the store clerk tore it away from the pack and filled it with groceries. On a more serious note, I'd like to know how a plastic bag is environment friendly. Does it have a friendly nature and goes out shaking hand with the trees or something? Or maybe the trick is in asking the right questions. Let's see if we can come up with some

“Is this a plastic bag? ”
“Affirmative”
“Was a tree cut to make this?”
“Negative”
“Does it emit any poisonous or green house gasses?”
“The factory making it does but this bag...”
“Quick. What is the answer?”
“OK, negative”
“So it is certified, this is as environment friendly a bag as Al Gore can ask for.”
