    I think the cigarettes are the “disposable income” – as in, “you’re throwing your money away” (and maybe your life)…

  2. paws4thot says:

    So wastepaper basket, could you lend me a tenner til pay day?

    • RockyRoader says:

      You’ll have to please it first!

      • JohnB says:

        And apparently unless you have disposable income, it won’t be pleased. So it’s a classic Catch-22; don’t ask the waste paper basket for money unless you don’t need it. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much the way American financial institutions work! Are we sure this is in Asia???

        • hollyr57 says:

          I read the text differently and assumed that it was the waste paper basket that HAD the disposable income and if I wanted to use it I had to please it. Therein lies the problem: just how does one please a waste paper basket? Maybe emptying it often? Or perhaps feeding it things it likes?

  3. blueJade says:

    Does it turn nasty if you don’t please it?

  4. Brown says:

    In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      I see what you did there ;)

      Indeed, it is incense, most likely burning to mask the smell of the refuse bin. Mosquito coils are just a different kind of incense that contain a fair bit of citronella. Before there were mosquito coils, there was incense in stick, cone and coil form.

      The more you know…

      • bluejade says:

        The mosquito coils I buy locally contain some sort of half-hearted insecticide. It doesn’t kill them, but it does bring them out of hiding, whereupon they meander slowly and stupidly near the ceiling. And that’s when the fun begins, because they really do get the hose; the vacuum cleaner hose!! Good times!

  5. Z says:

    maybe its a lighter for cigarettes…they give you an ashtray, why not give a lighter?

  6. saywhat says:

    I’d LOVE to meet a waste paper basket with disposable income.

    • JohnB says:

      No matter how much income it has, sooner or later it will dawn on you that it’s a WASTE BASKET! And who wants to be stuck with that?

  7. Meowth says:

    I thought it politely requested us to waste any paper baskets that had disposable income.

  8. debbro says:

    I thought it was a Buddhist temple (incense) and they wanted donations (disposable income)

  9. dr handle says:

    Throw your disposable income into the rubbish – clearly, this is a weekend workshop for people who don’t have the time or inclination to have children, but want a brief experience of some aspect of parenthood.

    • hollyr57 says:

      If the waste basket doesn’t whine or embarrass you in public by pointing at other customers in the hair shop and saying, slightly less loudly than a scream, “Look Grandma, that ladies is BALD. Why is that lady BALD, Grandma?”, then the experience isn’t complete. And if the waste basket doesn’t curl up in your lap and tell you with great solemnity that it loves you, then your can have no idea.

  10. bluejade says:

    I thought it was a trash can setting itself up as a cheap, chrome-plated, pompous little deity demanding offerings. Pay-to-pray, or you will be cursed by the trash deity.

    Is this some kind of weird economy?
