What a wonderful and romantic story just in time for Valentine's.

Now is the time of year to hold your loved one tight and tell them how much you care. Usually couples will pick their bedroom, or couch, or maybe even somewhere really cool like a hot tub to embrace. Now a dumpster is not really the ideal spot to want to cuddle with your sweetheart. Well, that's exactly what a couple in Florida did....and their story does not end there. Authorities say a man and woman passed out drunk and had to be rescued after falling asleep in a dumpster that was later emptied into a garbage truck.

According to the Associated Press via the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the couple had been sleeping in a dumpster outside a convenience store near Tampa early Wednesday. When the dumpster was emptied into the back of the garbage truck, they started screaming and banging on the sides of the truck.

Rescue crews removed 37-year-old Donald L. Jordan and 49-year-old Lisa Sirbella from the truck. They were taken to Tampa General Hospital after complaining of back pain.Deputies originally believed they were homeless, but learned they were highly intoxicated after spending time at a nearby casino.
