When the continuation of depreciating a long term tangible asset at a diminishing value becomes unprofitable or purposeless, so the company decides to dispose of the asset at a stipulated cost which is below book value resulting in a loss which is then offsetted against the companies profits. A transaction of this nature is usually made when the asset becomes dormant and ineffective, even though it may well still be in the beginning of its life expectancy. The disposing of as asset is also written off the Balance Sheet as a long term investment and making way for a more effective and valuable long term asset.
If there is capital to be made on disposing of an asset, then both parties agree to a value where under the table cash transactions are made (off the books) and a much lower value is agreed upon (on the books) which is then recorded as a loss and offsetted against the companies net profit.

Rupert Murdoch: "I got rid of Alex!" James sighed, "I thought he was an asset, turns out he was nothing but a liability"

Alan Bond: "Nothing!, you know hoe Asians are carnivorous when it comes to money, it looks like it's rubbing off on you"
Rupert Murdoch: " Yep, learn Alan, disposing of an asset requires a lot of foot work if you know what I mean".

After I got my bonus, I bought a thoroughbred and used him as a disposable racehorse. Raced him once at Pimlico and had him shot for no good reason.

A play on the term “opposable thumbs,” essentially implying that humans can dispose of their thumbs.

When a chick wraps her midsection with plastic wrap, takes a massive dump, lets it collect in the bag, then, before intercourse, takes a knife and unloads it on her partner's chest.

A very underrated kick ass song by Metallica
Song meaning: This song from Metallica’s third album is an anti-war song. It is one of the most intense songs Metallica has ever written, with certain sections performed at 220 beats per minute.
The lyrics tell the story from the point of view of a soldier on the battlefield who receives orders from his general to keep fighting, no matter how many will die. The general believes his soldiers are merely expendable tools.
