(Hey, his write-up says he can absorb radiation, and it's not limited to the radiation thrown off when he compacts something.) On the other hand, the clean-up work does (did?) take him to some dangerous places on occasion, and for all that he requested a costume when he signed up, he always said himself, "I ain't nothin' but a garbage-man in a funny suit!"
