Ole Popeye has always thrown all his garbage out of his windows.

It's an old navy habit. Back in the day, he was a cook on a ratty tin
can. One of his duties was throwing out the garbage, from port holes, or
off the deck in good weather.

It's also where he developed his intense hatred of *** people. Some of
the other sailors used him for a humpy pumpy doll, and he was never the
same afterwards.
