human paper weight

Today morning on my way to work, i saw this guy sitting on top of a pile of garbage. He was not sitting on a road side garbage pile but was sitting on the truck that was carrying city's garbage. Why would i call him a human paper weight? hmm.. usually the trucks cover the garbage with a net and this guy was sitting on the net like a paper weight, i cant but pity him. It stinks when you are about 20 - 30 yards from the truck... imagine this guy sitting on it itself.
