They invented the bin

Contributed by banjosandwitch on Wednesday, 14th May 2014 @ 02:15:55 PM in AEST

They invented the bin

They invented the bin
But gave no instruction what to do with it
So the town folk just walked around them, throwing rubbish on the ground
Soon the place was knee deep in litter

When the inventor came to town
He almost drowned
Saying, oh my god what is this?
I've invented this bin for you to put the litter in, so why are we drowning in rubbish?

The people who had not died arose and cried
Oh that's what it is with no instruction on the side
We just ignored it and let things slide
And now look at the mess we are in
If only you'd have given instruction
We'd have put out waste in

Well the moral to this tale is
Put how to use this things on the side if you are an inventor
Excuse me someone said, this tale sounds like a lie
No one is that stupid, are they?

Yes, it is a lie
But heed or you will die
Put your litter in the bin
Or I'll come along and put you in

OMG! What a great closing line! "put your litter in the bin or I'll come along and put you in!"
THAT is what should be written on trash bins!!
Instruction seduction! A tidy little lesson for us all! Thanks for this very clever reminder!
