Actually somone took the Bin out for them.

ddubsgirl · 10/05/2011 17:42

heard something like this the day it happend and few others

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:42

Yes, I'm being serious. I think you should explain it to me.

MrSpoc · 10/05/2011 17:45

Elton john is going to do a tribute song for bin ladden. Its called sandels in the bin.

woopsidaisy · 10/05/2011 17:47

Explain it to me too. I don't mind an unpc joke,but I just don't get that one. It isn't funny.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 10/05/2011 17:47

Pakistan may be a 3rd world country, but it still takes its Bin out over a bank holiday. - very funny.
Jeremy - it means despite being a poor country, Pakistan still has a (rubbish) bin collection over a bank holiday. Only it's a capital B for Bin Laden, see. To "Take Out" also means to kill. So it's a double meaning.

MrSpoc · 10/05/2011 17:48

I have heard the Op's joke before too but the one I heard was:

I knew you could take a bin out on a bank-holiday

TrillianAstra · 10/05/2011 17:48

"take out" = kill

Bin Laden was killed "taken out"

and it was a Bank Holiday, a day when services such as rubbish collection generally don't run

--
obviouly he's not literally a bin, and it wasn't a bank holiday in Pakistan, and they didn't do it themselves

hanaka88 · 10/05/2011 17:49

Bin laden... Although it took me a while

manticlimactic · 10/05/2011 17:49

We get our bins taken out over the Bank Holiday so although I get the joke it wasn't really funny.

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:49

Cheers Avon, I get all of the machanics of the joke. Just not the premise.

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:50

*mechanics

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:52

It just cant be funny. I wont allow any of you to say it is.
It only works if Pakistan killed him.

I'm right. You're joke is weak at best.

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:53

OH FFS. *your.

MrSpoc · 10/05/2011 17:54

It was very funny the first time I was told it.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 10/05/2011 17:54

No, it is funny, very funny. I am still laughing a lot. Really.

JeremyVile · 10/05/2011 17:54

Were you drunk?

AvonCallingBarksdale · 10/05/2011 17:58

What me? Only just heard it on this thread (I lead a very sheltered life). So, too early to be drunk. I just like the clever construction. I think you don't like it cos you don't get it, so there.
