A dustman is going along a street picking up the wheelie bins and emptying
them into his dustcart lorry. He gets to one house where the bin hasn't
been left out. He has a quick look for it, goes round the back but still
can't see it so he knocks on the door.

There's no answer so he knocks again.

Eventually a Japanese bloke answers...

"Harro" says the chap.

"Alright mate, where's your bin?" asks the dustman.

"I bin on toilet" replies the Japanese bloke, looking perplexed.

Realising the Japanese fellow has misunderstood, the bin man smiles and
says, "No mate, where's ya dust bin?"

"I dust bin on toilet. I told you." says the Japanese man.

"Mate" says the dustman... "you're misunderstanding me... Where's your
Wheelie Bin?"

"OK-OK," says the Jap, "I wheelie bin having ****"
