How We Know We Live in Philly: The Curl Test

In the City of Rocky, the actual rule for knowing if you can put certain items out on the curb for trash pick up day contains the following instruction: Grab the bundle, if you can do a bicep curl without having your forearm muscles strained then it is okay to leave with trash. The actual weight amount is no more than 40 lbs.

This is awesome for several reasons:
1. The fact that they use your bicep strength as a test.
2. The fact that they suggest to the public that 40 lbs is a reasonable amount that most people can curl without engaging their forearm muscles.

Now Joshua is curling 280 lbs these days and Laura is coming in strong with 75 lbs, so this rule suits us just fine. But, since we are such community-minded people, we are concerned about the older generation who can only curl 0.7 oz.
