Well, yeah, that's because the scale leftover sheets from paper model kits you included in it were 4% inaccurate. Other than that it was great, the dumpster itself was 100% true to the prototype dumpster in your apartment's parking lot.
Maybe you should have modeled it just after the trash was picked up.

No, it was probably doing the hinges wrong. When the lid flipped to the back, it tore off the end one. Yeah, that is why I didn't make the cut. 4%? Hmmm, I better check size. Windows 98 is a bit shaky with precise drawings...

You may not, however, be a paper modeler, if you think mountain folds and valley folds are different height places for keeping sheep.

You were in big trouble after your child ate the card model of a pepperoni pizza slice.

You were taken from the Card Model World contest in an ambulance after a judge found one of your Me-262 nacelles was put on backwards.

I had thought of a really witty post, but by the time I'd printed it out and made a model of seven dogs smoking cigars and playing poker I'd forgotten what it said.
