Pakistan may be a 3rd world country, but it still takes its Bin out over a bank holiday.

Gosh, that sounds a bit snippy. sorry!

Err, Pakistan isn't technically a 3rd World Country, I believe. They supply Britain with a lot of IT staff and doctors. And I think they wouldn't lay any claim to Bin Laden being theirs, plus the Americans were the ones who took the bin out, so to speak. Once I got over the factual errors, it IS funny. MrSpoc's Disney weekend one is very good.

Our refuse collectors have actually been collecting rubbish over bank holidays (incl Christmas and Easter, so that there are no hygiene concerns over overflowing rubbish) so hats off to them too.

(bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia)

'Once I got over the factual errors, it IS funny.'

This and Jezza farting are much funnier than the joke.

JamieAgain · 10/05/2011 18:13

It's literally the funniest thing I've ever heard. I have wet myself.

LouMacca · 10/05/2011 18:58

Hammy02 · 11/05/2011 10:00

I never understand it when some people say 'oh, that's so not funny' sucking all the fun out of the something. Just keep shtum and allow others a laugh. You are the MN equivalent of those RL socially inept weirdos that say 'Oh, stop laughing, its not that funny'.

NeverSayPie · 11/05/2011 10:01

Hmm You'd need a lobotomy to find that "joke" funny.

Not a third world country. Although nowhere is, thats an outdated and insulting term. It was Americans that took him out, and it wasn't a bank holiday to either of them. And you're a moron if you are sitting at home wetting yourself over that.

nethunsreject · 11/05/2011 10:07

Shit joke.

crabb · 11/05/2011 10:07

What makes it not work for me, is that "Bin" means (I think) "son of", so without the "Laden" it holds little meaning. It would be like referring to someone whose name is O'Reilly as just O' - makes no sense. Happy to be corrected by Arab linguists, or to own up to being a pedant, but it wasn't very funny anyway.

nethunsreject · 11/05/2011 10:10

Hammy - we were ASKED.
