- You want Funny, Amongst the things that are considered Hazardous
- (along with pitch) is asphalt -- So, it is illegal to
- take hot asphalt and dump it on the ground. It is even worse, clearly,
- ti flatten it out and squeeze the stuff into the ground with a steam
- roller. The only worse thing you can do with is leave it out in the rain
- and encourage people to drive their heavy cars all over it.
