My housemate Dave and I were discussing recyclable packaging materials this evening. More specifically, we were arguing whether the new reusable-but-plastic Oystercards are better for the\r\nenvironment than the zillions of paper tickets they currently use on\r\nthe Underground):\r\n

\r\n
D: Basically, paper is the best, most environmentally friendly material because it's so recyclable.\r\n
S: Well, except glass, but it's not like you can package lots of things in glass.\r\n
D: Yeah, but glass doesn't grow.\r\n
S: But it comes from sand! There's no shortage of sand, mate*! \r\n
D: Those fucking arabs 'ave got everything.\r\n

\r\n

I found this hilarious. YMMV.\r\n\r\n
