Dad’s not relaxing.

reduce, reuse, recycle… emphasis on “reuse”

You trying to put your dad in the hospital, Lio?

Now you’ll find how to recycle this broken dad, Lio! I think you must have became an expert after what you put him through all these years!

reuse as the old “banana peel” gag?

Who keeps real pumpkins inside the house, and not facing outside so people can see them? (not to mention leaving them there long enough to rot)

At first glance that recycle icon looked a lot like the radiation warning icon …

The smell should have knocked him over first.

There is something about a rotten pumpkin that’s even scarier than a non-rotten pumpkin.

That pumpkin could serve as a passable whoopie cushion. Albeit, a squishy whoopie cushion.

Feed the raccoons. Not sure how that is being recycled…

No longer valuable as a Jack o’ Lantern, the decaying pumpkin was recycled as an ersatz banana peel. Dad-tested and Lio-approved!

Maybe “compost” would be the better option if it’s in your city.
