Humour - Bin joke..

[BarryD]

A bin man is going along a street picking up the wheely bins and emptying them into his dustbin lorry. He gets to one house where the bin hasn't been left out so 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'

'Alright mate, where's your bin?' asks the bin man

'I bin on the toilet' replies the Japanese.

Realising the Japanese fellow has missunderstood, the binman says

'No mate, where's ya wheely bin?'

'OK, I wheely bin having a w*nk'


Well it is Friday, I'm in a basement , I've been told the sun is shining and it's seven hours before I will see my boat. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Later that day the Jap went to the Bank and changed up some Yen. The Bank Teller gave him £10 for 1840 Yen. The next day he went again and the Bank gave him £9.50p for 1840 Yen.
"Ah So!" said the Jap. "Yesterday you gave me more english money for my Yen, why less today?" he asked.
"Fluctuations" said the Bank Clerk.
"Well Fluckyou Blitish too" said the Jap.

Jap & Japs

Nice joke.

Changing tack slightly, I am curious about the term Jap(s), is it politically correct etc? Reason I mention it is that a colleague from the US once got quite upperty when I referred in a meeting to Sony, Panasonic etc as "Jap companies". The inference being that it was offensive, any views?

Re: Jap & Japs

I'd say that it's a safe bet that anything which by any stretch of the imagination could possibly be construed as being offensive will be so construed if it suits somebody to so do.

Re: Jap & Japs

Yanks see it as politically incorrect as they also see the term 'Nip' as an abbreviation of the word 'Nippon' as wrong too. Personally I have no objection to being called a 'Bubble' because of my Greek heritage and I am not aware of any 'Brits' who take umbrage at being so called. Maybe its a question of confidence in ones heritage that makes people take offense. Jocks, Paddies, Taffies, Brits, Bubbles, Frogs, Yanks, Ozzies, Kiwis, Canucks to name but a few nations who are self confident.
