Title: Pointless exercise
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 456 - Bundle at tw100
Notes: Jack finds Ianto's logic baffling.

‘You need to stack them like this,’ Ianto instructed him, and then lay them down over the string and tie them together.

‘It seems like a lot of effort for something that’s technically rubbish,’ Jack said, as Ianto hauled the tree branches onto the nature strip.

‘Perhaps, but the council specifies that garden waste has to be bundled up like this for collection. It makes it easier for the council workers to dump them in the truck. Imagine if you had to pick up each branch separately? It’d take ages.’

Jack frowned. Wasn’t that what they were doing right now?

Makes me glad I only have to chop branches up into the garden waste bin"
