You Are A Bottle Digger, If: 1)  Pick & probe has nothing to do with your nose.2)  You keep a shovel & probe in your vehicle at all times.3)  You enjoy digging holes for no pay.4)  You'd rather have a back hoe than a bassboat.5)  You read fire insurance maps at the breakfast table and in bed.6)  Your family & friends believe you're nuts.7)  Construction & demolition sites get you extremely excited.8)  Most of your fantasies are about digging a treasure trove of bottles.9)  "Dig it", is far more than a slang term.10) Your personalized license plate has the word "BOTL" in it.11) You have an "extra" wardrobe of ratty clothing used only for digging.12) If there's a shelf anywhere in your house, there's at least one bottle on it.13)  You cringe at paying $20 for a new shirt, but quickly shell out $50 for a new shovel , probe, gloves, & a  potatoe rake.14) Assorted buckets with dirty bottles, shards, and sherds line your porch. There's also a couple containing various metal items/objects.15) You take a vacation day off work with the reason you need rest, then you spend the entire day digging.

Wow...14 out of those 15 fit me perfectly. I just don't have the personalized plate (yet). Another sign of a bottle digger....You find words like "squat", "blob" and "crudity" to be delightful rather than disgusting . ~Jim
